ON Haro D P lrl Pozh Jack Lane Gacluceud SENIORS RUTH J AEGER The Class of January Nineteen hundred and forty-three of the William Beaumont High School announces the thirty-fourth Semi-Annual Commencement Thursday, the twenty-eighth of January, at three o'cloclz . This is an invitation to a graduation, your graduation. To many who read this article this invitation will contain only a few meaningless words, but to you, the two hundred and eighty seniors, this invitation will have connected with it a great deal of sentiment. 'iYou are the graduating class of January '43. You are the men and women of tomorrow. In selecting a motto this fact was uppermost in your minds. More Beyond brings before you the idea that although upon gradua- tion from Beaumont, your high-school career may end, nevertheless, there is much more ahead for each and every one of you. To some of you may fall the task of saving countless thousands of lives. To others the United States may owe its very existence because of your skill and courage. Although with the passing of time many new classes will fill the spacious halls of Beaumont, nevertheless, our Class of January '43 will be remembered as a class well drilled in the precepts of liberty, freedom, and democracy, because this class is being graduated in the very midst of a world conflict which will decide whether or not these fundamentals of our civilization will continue to exist. We wish to thank our sponsors, Miss Cunningham, Miss Quellmalz, and Mr. Hall for the constant efforts and guidance they have given us.

Now, over three years later, that group has entered its senior year with the breath of the draft board hot upon its neck. Yes, the New Seniors have stepped into the shoes of those who are now Seniors, and, from all appearances, there is going to be a shortage of shoes. The class of June '43 is the largest class in the history of the yet young Beaumont High School. Approximately four hundred seventh-termers are registered in the oflice files. Until now, for the average New Senior there has been nothing but six terms of almost incessant drudgery. But now, a new light has been thrown on the situation. As the saying goes, From now on, it's all meat and no potatoes. That is, as far as the entertainment and good times go. As usual there will be a dancing class for all the pore chillun that ain't hepf' With the string of parties and dances on the New Senior-Senior roster, I would advise anyone who can't cut a rug to learn, but quickly. That reminds me, I have an appointment with Arthur Murray. The much coveted honor of being class president has been voted to the Honorable Jack McKnight, with Betty Cooper, the amicable cheerleader, being given the vice-president nod. So, after a comparatively speedy start, the New Senior Class has elected those who, with the sponsors' aid, will lead the class for the rest of its high-school existence.

Fifty-one KQJUCQMJ Fifty-two TI-IE COMMON MEN WILLIAM FURRY Satan! Listen to my song. We are the common men! We each hear Liberty's sweet call Above the battle din. YVe are the guardians of the world. We are the common men! We see a war-torn world today But we are bound to win. And Justice comes and pleads with us To win for her the world. And Liberty is singing outg And Freedom's Hag's unfurled. Our children's children will be soon All ignorant of fear. They never shall know tyranny, For God will be too near. And Satan. Wait to hear it all, We are the common men! We have no tyrant's bloody hands: Our hands are free from sin. Our brains are not corroded 'way. Our hearts are loyal and true. YVe make just laws. We worship God From thought we banish you. Soon our descendants shall come forth Into a world that's clean. And none will find a battlefield, But country pastures green. You cannot win because of this: We are the common men! And on our side the Lord will be To show us how to win. An era new approaches us. For it we wait. . . And then Our good Lord shall look down upon The W'orld of Common Men! 'RT Drqden Dafoe Swift Addison Sizzle cpe Nev Cacluceud EVIDENCE, TOO LATE MELVA MARTY gy NE thought has remained uppermost in the minds of many of the children in our little Missouri town, since the discovery of the hidden chambers in the old deserted mansion near the river. It is We played there so l' ' ' many times and never suspected such a thing? Why couldn't we have found it? Now the property of the late Captain Howard Stanley's heirs, the house, which has been a familiar landmark to all residents of the vicinity since long before the Civil War, is situated in a large grove of trees not far from the business section of the town. The heirs have left their ancestral home unin- habited and unguarded. In the meantime, the boys and girls have literally taken possession. One morning in early May four boys were amusing themselves by re-eXplor- ing the structure for the hundredth time. They had just concluded their inspection of the attic and were about to descend to the third floor, when one of their number, Kenneth Blackstone, by name, straddled the broad bannister and slid from view. Upon reaching the bottom of the stairs, his friends were astonished to see a gaping hole in the wall. Peering cautiously inside, they saw Kenneth slowly climbing a narrow flight of steps. Unable to stop himself as he slid, he had flown against the wall. The impact had caused the carved paneling to swing back and Kenneth had rolled down the steps. Although shaken by his fall, Kenneth was excited. Let's explore the passage! The others were as enthusiastic as he. After a brief discussion, Billy Ryan and Gene Hartwell were dispatched for flashlights, while Kenneth and Warren Hayes guarded their find. As the boys eagerly entered the passage, the panel swung shut behind them. Snapping on their lights, they found themselves at the top of a narrow winding stairway. The walls were of stone and were covered with layers of dust, which drifted into nostrils as they walked. Following the stairs downward, the procession reached a landing where several passages met to form a broad hall. Warren led the way down the latter until their progress was halted by a large iron door, which, to their dismay, stubbornly refused to open. Just as they were about to turn back, Gene's eye rested upon the door-latch which was held fast by a rusty padlock. Grasping this, he pulled sharply, and the ring snapped. As the creaking of the rusty hinges echoed through the passages, the boys shivered in anticipation of what lay on the other side of the door. Upon stepping cautiously inside, they began to flash their lights about the room. The beams from Billy's light rested on something white. As he moved closer in order to discern the object more clearly, Kenneth cried, 'Klumpin' .luniperl Let's get out of here! No sooner had he said this than the others were gone. They dashed down the passageway and up the steps. At the top they found that the panel would not reopen. Groping about in the dark, Gene discovered a small spring, which he pulled vigorously. A cracking sound was heard, and they once more saw daylight. Uttering sighs of relief they stumbled from the passage. ln the lead as usual, Kenneth ran towards the stairway-but to his surprise, a huge stone fireplace occupied its site. For the first time, the boys took note of their surroundings. They were in the old kitchen-not in the third floor hall! Somewhere down in that dark and winding passage, they had taken the wrong turn and had found another entrance! Leaving Billy and Vsfarren on guard, Kenneth and Gene ran from the house to the nearby business office of the latter's father, where they eagerly recited Fifty-four Cacluc 0115 snatches of their tale of adventure. Mr. Hartwell was at first inclined to treat their incoherent remarks lightly, but as gradually the story became more clear, his curiosity roused. Grabbing the telephone, he summoned his friend, Police Captain Ware, who hesitantly agreed to meet them at the house. The men vainly tried to detect the combinations of the panels but were obliged to request Kenneth to slide down the bannister once more. Upon examination of the hidden room and its contents, Captain Ware placed a police guard about the house. Somehow ,he had to find the story of the skeletons. Astonishingly, after examination, they proved to be those of negroes. With the publication of the discovery came many stories and speculations from all sorts of people. Several days later as the boys were sitting on the front steps of the house. they caught sight of a stooped figure hobbling towards them on crutches. As it drew nearer, they recognized old Jim, the town patriarch. Tossing his head in order to throw his long white hair from his eyes, he whined, A'Could you boys lead me to the Cap'n? I know sompin' 'bout this affair. With a friendly smile, Warren led him into the drawing room where the officer was examining utensils taken from the passage. The others followed close behind. Old Jim placed himself in front of the policeman and smiled as he announced, 'iCap'n, I know you've heard a lot of stories 'bout this hidden room, but I know the right one. I was jest a little shaver when it all hap- pened-but I still remember! Captain Ware smiled tolerantly as the old man began: It was in the winter of 1864, the Civil War was still in progress. Cap'n Stanley was an off'cer in the Union Army, but his family lived here. Lots of people suspected that his house was a station for the underground railway, but no one would come right out and say it. The Cap'n was at home at this time on sick- leave and lots of peculiar things were doin' up here-signaling from the watch tower on the roof and the like. Well, while the Cap'n was home, one night a detachment of Confed'rate soldiers were seen ridin' towards his house. Some- one warned Stanley. When the soldiers arrived, they found nothin'. Cap'n Stanley was gone, too, but they gave chase and caught him. He was placed in prison and his servants were taken away. The house was closed up. These skeletons must be those of some of the sick runaway slaves who were placed in the secret room when word came that the Confed'rates were on their way. And they w'ere unable to help themselves because the servants were gone and the house was closed, broken in Warren eagerly. i'That's right, sonny, said old Jim, They died there. Several months after the war was over, Cap'n Stanley came home. Many people questioned him about his part in the helping slaves to escape but he always put 'em off somehow, He was quiet about it until he died nigh onto thirty-live years ago. Undoubetdly, the Captain found the dead slaves after his return, con- cluded Captain Ware by now intensely interested. We know that the iron door was placed there later than 1865. He must have also sealed the passages and destroyed their combinations in order to save his secret from becoming known. Yep, that was probably it, agreed the old man as he reached for his crutches. 'AI've told you all I know, he concluded as he left the room. The eyes of the boys and the policeman followed him until he disappeared from sight. Turning from the window, Captain Ware remarked, After all of the Captain's precautions, you boys unwittingly stumbled on the evidence which, seventy-five years ago would have sent him before a Confederate firing-squad. Well, with this, the case is closed now. Fifty-five CQJUCQUJ WOULD YOU BE A HERO? EHRET RAMEY l've read of national heroes in the news, But I would like to hear the hero's views Of how he sank a hated Nazi sub Or killed six Japs, his rifle for a clubg Just how he felt when face to face with death, When forced to tight or draw his final breath. I wonder if his hero's heart has missed A beat as he imagined that grim list Of men who would not to their homes return. Was he not harried by an urge to turn And leave those wretched, bloody men alone, To give their lives? He cared more for his own! While driven near to madness by such thought, He may have recollected what was bought When such as he had voiced their battle-cry And fought in '76 and dared to die. If this he thought-and well, I think, he might- I see from whence his courage came to ight. We wave the flag, and of brave deeds we sing, But doing deeds is quite another thing. I'd like to be a hero like him, too, But I wonder if I'd have the nerve. Would you? THE SNOWFLAKE'S MESSAGE GEORGIA MARQUARD Sailing lightly downward From a cold, gray sky, Falls a crystal snowflake Silently wavering by. This first uncertain snowflake, Dispatched from heaven above, Seems to bear a message That it's time for scarf and glove- A message reappearing With each successive season, Which tells us that Dame Winter reigns, With whom man cannot reason. An epoch of short days And endless night ensues- But who'd desire continuous summer, Even if he coula' choose? The people are on the march toward even fuller freedom than the most fortunate peoples of the earth have hitherto enjoyed. Fifty-six Caoluceud GOOD NIGHT, SUZY! FLOYD VAN SICKLE ?gl5 Ah yes' Rufus was happy. At last a date with that snappy 1551, number that he d daydreamed about and goggled at for three long if years! Two last pats of ba'r grease and a violent swish to push up a huge wave in his mop-like hair, and he was ready. Looking into the mirror, he thought, Well, why not? If I were a girl, I could go for me in a big way. I've got the longest coat in school, and I'm hep, ain't I? A little jig at this point convinced him: yes, he was hep. Sliding into his knee- Iength sport coat and tightening his Windsor, he yelled downstairs, Ma, what time is it? Quarter to nine, she answered. Quarter to nine. Oh, plenty of time-quarter to nine! Oh, my good- ness! Just time to catch the old 8:47, Down the steps, seven at a time, he flew by so fast he missed his mother and kissed the mail-box on the front porch. The staccato of his new brogues on the pavement rose in tempo as the old 8:47 was seen in the distance. I'll head it off at Elm Street. CPuff, puffll I'll take the short cut through the lot. CPuff, pufflj Yes, the lot was a good short cut-in the daytime. Stubs of weeds and rocks made it tough on Rufus, but he cut a swathe through the maze of vegetation like a lawnmower. Flying into the alley, he had the misfortune to step on a tin can. CCensoredj !, he thought as he hit the cobblestones with a bang. No time to moan. Up Rufus got, with the persistence of a Commando. Yes, he could just make it. As he pulled up at the corner of Elm and Zoot Route, he found he had won the race of man against the machine. In the hard seat of the old 8:47, he took stock of his injuries and losses. Considering the intensity of the action, he commented, quoting frequent War Department communiques, 'llosses were relatively light. What Rufus did not know was that ba'r grease had melted and covered his forehead with a queer green film. As the conductor called out Jive Drive, Rufus got off, whistling like a teakettle. Pretty ritzy neighborhood that Suzy lived in! She was the cheer- leader at school, she was a glamour girly she was smart-sometimes. All the fellows dated Suzy. She had a waiting-list like the employment office at Lockheed. He ought to know. I-Ie'd asked her to go skating last February, and here he was taking her to the November Prom. Let's see, now. Turn left at La Conga Boulevard. Yes, that's the house -the big white one on the corner, As he came to the white steps, he made sure of the address. There it was in small black letters: 123 La Conga. He felt like a man walking the last mile. He trembled miserably as he lifted the knocker, After what seemed like hours, the door opened. Doing his best to appear debonair, he lifted his left brogue to go in. There in the doorway was Crusher Schmaltz, the fullback. Rufus gulped loudly and stammered, 'AIS Susan in? i Crusher growled something and stood aside, allowing the light from the living-room to shine out on the porch. Rufus supposed he had said yes, so 4 5 A-TUIVI-DE-DUIVI. jgxf JG?-W Q , I 1 Fifty-seven 'iii CGJUCQMJ he put his left brogue down. Once inside the living-room with Crusher, he felt at ease. Schmaltz wasn't so big, only about six feet three and a scant two hundred and forty pounds. Glancing at Rufus's coat, Crusher remarked, A' 'S matter? Cvot patches on the knees of your pants? Rufus thought, 'il don't have to stand for that. l ought to punch him one, but Suzy wouldn't like it. l'll bet he sleeps in that letter-sweaterf! But Rufus said nothing. At last Suzy glided down the staircase with the ease that can come from no other source than the 'iTune-Town Shuffle. i'Well, hello! . . . Rufus, isn't it? 'ilVlmmmmmm . . . What? Ah, yes, yes-Rufus, he stammered, aghast at this bit of loveliness. Crusher was now thumbing nonchalantly through the current issue of Esquire Crusher has offered to drive us to the dance, she said, smiling warmly. Crusher looked up from his magazine, which influenced to a great extent Rufus' answer. Whatever you say, he said gaily Cand artificiallyj. On the way to the hall Crusher said little and Rufus less. But Suzy was all teeth and tonsils. Rufus had to admit: she was awreet. He was glad when they finally shook Crusher, who didn't have a coat: and all he had underneath his sweater was a wide variety of T shirts, some marked in blazing black letters A'UnderWear. lnside the hall it was no better. Suzy knew everybody and none knew Rufus except to squeeze his hand unmercifully and say, Grunt runt. He fumbled around on the first dance and cursed his brogues on the next one. Gaylord Rothschild, the school Joe-boy, cut in on the third dance. After it was over and he had brought Suzy back, he brazenly told Rufus that he should be grateful, for he would probably have muffed it anyway. Rufus was inclined to agree, since it was a rhumba. Never in his life had he seen a girl who could drink coke like Suzy. What a girl! She would make some lucky fellow a wonderful wife. He wondered if he was making any headway. Did he look all right? Suzy was a wonderful conversationalist. But every time he tried to say something in his meek way, he was cut off by Suzy yelling, i'Hi, .loe!-lVloe!- Ted!-Fred! or something. She gave him all the dirt about who was going steady, who had broken up. Most of them Rufus had never heard of. But she sure could dance! What a cat! She wore three fellows out that night, and he was one of them. Was he tired! But that was his feet's worry, not his! On the way home, as they were walking down Awreet Street, Suzy held his hand. A shock went from his heels to the rooster tail that stuck out on his grease-plastered head. Wait until they got home! He wasn't known as a front-porch wolf for nothing. But fate was unkind, for as they turned on to La Conga Boulevard, Rufus coulddistinguish Crusher's huge hulk on her front porch. So he had to be contented with a gentleman's farewell. 'Everywhere the common people are on the march. Fifty-eight CGCIUCQUJ MIKE COMES BACK IAN CROWDER ll WAS one of those clear, crisp, carefree mornings, and the clouds were strictly cirrus: the time, a few weeks after the beginning of the Solomon Islands battle. Matthew McCarthy and Patrick O'Flaherty I 's were jogging along the countryside in a peaceful rural district near New York. Matthew McCarthy was a half-pint trainer, and Pat O'F1aherty was an up-and-coming boxer. Pat had been brought up in the East Side of New York, under the guidance of his older brother, Michael O'Flaherty. Pat's mother had died when he was still a kid in three-cornered pants. His father, who left the two boys shortly after their mother's death, hadn't been heard of since, Mike had been ambitious enough to work his way through med school and get a commission in the Marine Corps after graduation. 'Come on, Pat, me lad. Here 'tis only a week till the bout and you're still soft as a tomato. 4'Phew! Can't we stop awhile, Matt? This roadwork is getting me down. 'AOkay, okay: get back to the camp and pound the bag till chow. And don't let me catch you loafing or I'l1 tan your no good Irish hide. On the way back to camp Pat was angry with himself. Why, he was letting Matt down, wasn't he? 'AI need that roadwork worse than anything, he thought. Well, from now on I'm going to get in there and pitch. Not only for my own sake but for Matt's, Matt had watched the two O'Flaherty boys grow up and had come to love them both like his own sons. Whenever either of the two got into trouble, Matt was there to give them good, sound, fatherly advice. When Pat had decided to take up boxing as a profession, it was taken for granted that Matt would be the trainer. Later in the same day, Matt was talking to Paul Richardson, the owner of the camp where Pat was training. I feel sorry for the kid, Matt said. Ever since the news came that his brother was reported missing on Guadalcanal, he has been acting like a lost sheep. I understand that Pat's brother was with the medical detachment on the Solomons, Paul answered. UThat's right, Mike's as fine a lad as ever came out of the other side of town, too. 'Can it, whispered Paul: here comes the kid now. HGee, Matt, I tried, but my heart just ain't in it. Can't I lay off the rest of the day? 'iSure, kid, go ahead, but you're going to have to work hard the rest of the week. From reports, this Casey lad is going to be a hard nut to crack. Fifty-nine CQCJMCQUJ Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll do the best I can. I've decided to enlist after the ight. If anything has happened to Mike, those almond-eyed jerks are gonna pay for it. Pat had idolized Mike ever since he had been able to say brudder . Well, go get yourself some rest, boy. 'AOkay, thanks, Matt. S'long. The week passed, and only because of Matt's continued driving was Pat in half-way decent condition. In the dressing-room he sat listlessly on his dressing table, attired in blue shorts, his hands taped as is the usual procedure. Ordinarily a fighter, fighting his first battle in the Garden, is on needles and pins. But not so with Pat. His mind was thousands of miles away. Eight thousand, seven hundred and fifty to be exact. Come on, let's see a little life in you, Matt prodded. HYou're due in about five minutes. . The minutes dragged by like hours for Matt, but finally the time came when they made their way down the aisle to the ring. Pat drew a nice round of applause as he climbed through the ropes. His opponent was already in the ring. The announcer was about to make an announcement. As the announcer introduced the boys and gave their weights, etc., Matt was busy giving last minute instructions to Pat. The boys were motioned out to the center of the ring to get instructions and shake hands. The seconds left the ring and the bell sounded starting the first round. Round one was all Casey. Pat looked like a sick kid trying to stave OH imminent defeat. i'Keep away from him, Matt kept yelling. Don't slug with him. Round two, three and four all were taken by Casey. It was a massacre. Pat managed to get the fifth on a low blow, but at this rate he would never last the ten rounds. Come on Pat, boy. Snap out of it. Matt encouraged him as he soothed the many cuts on the pugilist's face. The sixth and seventh came and went and all were Casey's rounds. In the eighth Pat went down, but the bell stopped the count at eight. Pat made his way dazedly back to his corner and plopped heavily on his stool. It was several seconds before he was conscious of the one-armed man speaking to him from the side of the ring. Come on,Pat, win this one for me. Pat cast an agonized glance in the direction of the voice. Huh? Holy smoke, Mikel Your arm. What happ-Where'd you- How come you-F Well, Pat was almost too stricken to speak when he saw his brother Mike standing next to him, looking like a tin salvage depot. .Ieepers, exclaimed Pat, with all that tin on your chest you look like Gen. McArthur. But your arm, what happln Never mind about me, we'll talk about that later. I'll tell you what. If you give this bum the licking you're able to give him, I'll buy chocolate sodas for the three of us at Pop Mulroney's, just like old times, huh? Is it a deal?

The teachers of Beaumont have definitely entered upon a plan to make you feel very unfunny. Perhaps one of them has a nephew who wants a job.

V Sixty-one CQJUCQUJ LUCKY BAG BRUCE WRIGHT mi THE cold, lead-colored waters of the northern Pacific, near that outstretched, pointing finger of the Aleutians, a sleek, camoufiaged Japanese destroyer met the teeth of a flying gale with oily easiness. ' She was a sly ship, escaping time after time from the shrewd traps of the Americans, once at Midway and twice in the Solomons. Once she had lain hidden close to a jungle shore waiting for her engines to be repaired, and then, while slipping away, she had been attacked by a submarine and barely escaped the vengeance of an angry people. The commanding oflicer who sat deep in the recesses of a leather armchair, set cunningly in his narrow quarters, was not the corpulent example of self- indulgence found among the Japanese fighting men. He was inordinately proud of his lean figure, as well as of his Oxford-acquired accent. His glasses were not thick, horn-rimmed ones but elegant pince-nez. At the moment, he seemed preoccupied and a trifile uneasy. His glasses spun round and round his long, bony fingers, and his beady eyes kept shifting to the silver-mounted calendar on his desk. Outside, a heavy fog flowed and eddied, accelerated by a brisk wind. There was no accounting for the uneasiness he felt, at least to his mind, except for a thin thread of memory tangled far back in a cobweb of unused thoughts, which he struggled to trace. The crew were unhampered by such a problem and went about accomplish- ing their work routine, but with an eye also on the calendar. They expected a visit to their home port soon, after a brief sojourn in the Aleutians. The course was northeast and the orders simple: Remove submarine menace for large task force to follow. Not many miles away, and some fathoms down, another crew performed a routine, not perfunctorily but with a purpose set in mind. The purpose? To destroy a prey that had escaped once but whose fate was now certain. The long, black hull of their ship had lain on the surface all the night before, charging her batteries, till the rough weather set in. They had caught sight, by chance, of an enemy destroyer bearing north. All day the submarine had trailed the destroyer's motors and watched her northeast course. Now the commanding oflicer was at his desk, merely a board hung from the steel wall of the submarine. Lying on it was a copy of the Lucky Bag, the Annapolis annual for 1932. Without touching the book he could see, as if through the cover, the face of his friends, and he wondered what each one would be doing this year. He had heard of the fate of a few and was proud to be ranging the Pacific to avenge their death. Almost in spite of himself, the thought crossed his mind that he might not see any of them again, but it was banished by a curt Ready, sir! from the speaking-tube at his elbow. Rising to return to the periscope, he noted the date recorded in the log-book-13. Friday, the 13th-an opportune time for bad luck-for the Japanese, he hoped. Aboard the destroyer the other officer had found his thread of memory but hesitated to act upon it. A senseless superstition that should have no place in the mind of a Japanese officer. He opened the door and went to the bridge. The ship knifed the waves and then plunged into caldron-like depressions of boiling sea, from which wisps of fog arose. The truth was that he did not like the sea-the cold and the storms and the loneliness-nor the job that Sixty-two 66l6!bl,CebL5 had been forced upon him. When the war was over he would choose a wife to take to America, and there he would live, perhaps in Colorado or New Mexico, far from the sea, and rule those stupid people strongly and teach them to obey orders. Then suddenly a parting of the fog exposed a small stretch of eager waves. The binoculars which he had swiftly raised showed him a significant detail on the surface, a wake of white pointing at right angles to the destroyer's hull and almost touching it. His shout into the speaking-tube, if indeed it was ever uttered, was lost in a mighty explosion. As the ship broke in two and thrust bow and stern into the grey waves, the wind rose and lifted the fog over a huge whirlpool where the wreckage was being sucked down. No one on either ship saw that on the edge of the whirlpool a pince-nez was spinning around and around. MIKE COMES BACK fContinued from page 6O.D Hls it a deal? .lust watch my smoke this round.

Sixty-four CGCJUCQU5 OUT OF THE DARKNESS FLORENCE GREIMAN LL night the rain had been pounding hard on the thin roof of the cabin situated deep in the woods. Inside, Dick and Bob, lying on their hard cots, were feeling very much dejected, for they, with their I sl families, were spending the week-end here, and didn't want it ruined by rain. The next day had been appointed to go up the river and explore the cave which had been the object of so much wonder and excitement to them. In the morning, contrary to the weather of the previous night, the sun was shining warmly and everything in the woods looked fresh and sparkling. The rain, washing away the banks, had made the river rather muddy. The crisp morning air gave spark to the adventurous spirit of the boys as they fastened the out-board motor to the boat and sped up the river, armed with flashlights. After traveling for about a mile and a half, they pulled over to the right side of the river, where the air suddenly became very cool. The water in this cove, unlike the warm water in the rest of the river, was icy, for at this point a spring came dashing out of the rocks, chilling the air and water thereabouts. The water gurgled pleasingly over the rocks as Dick and Bob pulled the boat up on the land, and fastened it securely. The icy water, as they stepped into it, made them scream with shock, but they continued to walk in it until they came to the rocks from which the spring gushed forth. The entrance to the cave looked very black and forbidding. They summoned courage and stooped to enter the low opening. It was very dark inside, the only light being a small ray that came through the hole by which they had entered. Lucky we brought our flashlights, whispered Dick to his companion. Somehow the solitude and mystery of their surroundings made it impossible to speak above a whisper. Further into the cave they crept, hesitating with each step. They were no longer in water, but all the rocks around them were quite damp. Their flashlights showed them that they were in a huge cavity of the rocks, some- thing like an immense room. Already they were feeling chills, either of terror or of cold: they knew not which. Along the walls in several places were openings leading into passageways. HI-Iey, Dick, which one of these should we take? Bob asked. I don't know. This one looks good. Suppose we try it, was his friend's reply. Okay, you lead the way. The hallway was rather wide at first, and high enough for them to stand upright without difficulty. As they advanced, however, it became narrower and lower, so that it was necessary to walk in a crouched position. By this time the two explorers were freezing and had begun to feel a little numb. Gradually, as the corridor got lower and lower, they had to crawl on their stomachs. It seemed to them that they must have crawled in this manner for a length of a city block. By this time, though neither confessed it, each of the boys was beginning to be thoroughly afraid. Finally they emerged from the passage and stood up. They found themselves once again in a huge chasm of space, and before them lay a lake. A narrow rim of sandy rock enabled them to walk around it. Jeepers, I didn't expect to find anything like this, whispered Dick. I wonder if we can go any farther. I Sixty-Eve CGJUCBUJ I don't think so. We seem to be facing a solid mass of rock. I guess this is as far as we go. Jimmy, let's get out of here then, before we freeze to death. Hey, through which passage did we come? Bob asked, suddenly terrihed. A'Gee, I don't know: I think it was this one, answered his companion. 'ANo, it wasn't! I know it was that one. Well . . . maybe so. Let's try it, anyhow. They immediately fell on their stomachs and started crawling. Gradually, as the hallway became wider, they were able to progress on hands and knees, until Hnally, after what seemed an eternity, Bob shouted, LookI Over to the left a gleam of light was shining through. Running over, they crawled through the opening and once again stepped into the sunlight. It seemed unusually bright to their eyes and they had difliculty in seeing as they irst looked around. Then it suddenly occurred to them that they must have taken a different way out. Their boat was nowhere to be seen and this surely was not the entrance by which they had gone in. They shuddered as they thought of where another wrong passage could have led them. Not knowing exactly where they were, they started walking along the shore. The weeds were rather high, making advancement diflicult. Then as they turned a corner of the rocks, they saw the outline of their boat. Such a welcome sight it was as they hastened to it and once again sped down the river toward the cabin, GUARD DUTY BETTY J EANS The salesgirls, stockboys, and managers, of a store on West Florissant are having more than enough trouble with Michael, a stray alley cat, who is prov- ing to be more trouble than he is worth. It seems that Michael-the name was given to him by the girls-was hired to scare away any inquisitive mice, a job at which he is succeeding nicely. But in his spare time he becomes an A number one nuisance. The salesgirls must always have the doors to their understock closed, for Mike revels in messing up boxes filled with socks, ribbons, thread, and hard- ware articles. Once in awhile he even likes to curl up in a neglected sauce-pan and take a nap. Naturally these actions cause the salesgirls much distress, and such remarks as 'iOh, Michael, look what you've done now! or i'Get out of here, Mikel are very common-much to the unsuspecting customer's distress and confusion. Michael's favorite hide-out is the candy counter. The threats and switch- ings of the candy-girl have no effect upon him whatsoever, and he can't under- stand why he is not allowed to satisfy his sweet tooth whenever he chooses. Now and then Mike is rewarded with a piece of candy or a pretzel, which he handles like a real gentleman. Every time he is caught Hsnoopingu or messing things up, Michael gazes up at the accuser, who is usually a depressed salesgirl, and seems to say with a smile, 'iIt's me or the mice. Knowing women the way he does, Mike is sure that his battle is won. Sixty-six 6Cl6!ll,C2u6 THE DENTISTS REVENGE, OR l WAS DRILLED . IAN CROWDER Ever been to the dentist, hmm? Well, there are some of us in this institu- tion of learning, that are plagued with the misfortune of having teeth. You may wonder why I call it a misfortune. Let us suppose that you have an appointment with the dentist after school. All day during school, you fret and worry about what the bald man, with the formidable looking mechanisms in his office is going to do to you. In fact, about the lifth hour you are such a bundle of nerves that you are forced to go to the nurse's oflice and lie down. After school you take the longest way around to the dentist's oflice. Upon your arrival he makes you wait for about fifteen minutes just to make you nervous. Finally the man in the white uniform summons you from the ten- year-old magazines and gives the old Simon Legree snicker as you literally collapse into the chair. Now the dentist-let's call him Simon for purely dramatical purposes-proceeds to rub his hands together and gloat over you. By this time you have had just about every kind of hemorrhage known to medical science and more to boot. A'Open your mouth like a big boy, Simon sarcastically says. 'LOmigosh, you exclaim, what is that thing? Just a harmless little drill, he replies. Harmless he calls it. The next thing you know, there is something buzzing around in your mouth which at first you take for a P-40. The dentist tells you that you only have thirty-two cavities. After forty-five minutes of this agonizing tor- ture, the dentist tells you that he has drilled all your cavities and if you will come back tomorrow he might fill them for you. You grope weakly to the street. Upon coming out of the office you Hnd a riot squad and an inhalator crew. 'AWhat's all the commotion? you ask the cop. 'AWell, from the racket coming from in there, you'd think there was a dentist working on somebody, and--what the . . . hey, Joe! Come here.

That's what our car is. 'AOh, boy, there's a spot! As I pushed the gas pedal to the floor-boards, the car crept carefully up to the opening. 'ANow, let me see: is there room? Sure there is. Pulling up parallel to the front car, I stopped to swing back into the space. Then I started to back in. Suddenly, the sound of a heart-chilling scrape came to my ears. Now, let's see, that could be my fender scraping the other fender. Pushing on the handle of the right door in Vain, I came to a conclusion. Yes, it was my fender scraping the other fender. I could do one of two things. I could stay and face the music like a man, or I could leave the scene like a rat. Well, 'what's in a name, I thought. Besides, I like cheese. Shoving it into low, I high-tailed it like a scared rabbit. This may sound cowardly to the average person, but on the other hand the average person doesn't know my father or his physical abilities. I was confronted with the stark reality of what I had done. I needed a lift of some kind. So I stopped at the next place, careful to watch the curb and avoid the right side, and ordered a straight coke. The situation required thought. So I thought-for an hour and a half. Not that I was afraid to go home, mind you. Banish the thought, my friend. The matter simply required tact. Maybe the car wasn't badly damaged. Stop kidding yourself, I said aloudg it probably looks like it was rammed by a General Grant. It couldn't be put off foreverg so I went out to look. Not so badl .lust a little of the other car's paint on my front fender. And, for our car, paint in any form is an improvement. Optimistically I headed for home. Still in all, I was a bit apprehensive about Dad's seeing the car as it was. Slowly a crude idea crept into my brain. I could put it in the garage and Dad would take it in the morning without noticing it. When he finally did discover it, he would think, quite possibly, that it was done while he had had the car. This plan was carried out to the letter. Dad came home the next night cursing that fellow who scraped his fender. i'But, Dad, I said in my most innocent tone, it almost matches! MI don't care, he said: I'd hate to think of what I'd do to the fellow that scraped my fender and didn't stop. l'Yeah, I gulped, me too. Now I could confess like a man or I could keep it to myself like a rat. But as I said before, what's in a name? So if you people don't tell him, I suppose he will never know. And that's all right with me. Sixty-eight CGJMCQU5 BOYS' GYM BRUCE WRIGHT The white-clad figures huddled together in the cold light of dawn, shiver- ing with dread as He approached. His smile was as bright as a newly minted coin. While they looked down at their bare blue legs, he shouted, lsn't it glorious here in the snow? All right, you morons, let's form a straight line. They formed a line and then straightened when he bared his teeth. First, we'll try a very simple exercise, he leered, and to demonstrate leaped agilely over the goal-post, When the creatures exchanged distressed looks, he said, i'Well, I know that's too simple: so we'll try an exercise which is a trifle harder. You, there, he said, pointing to a trembling senior, Pick up yourself by the hair and hold yourself at arm's length. Ain't it a snap? By this time they were perspiring in sheer terror. i'Well, if you can't do that little thing, try this. Raise your right legs. They obliged. 'ANow raise your left legs. They again obliged, and the resounding crash could be heard even above the thunder of the machine shops, the roar CI mean harmonyj in 302, and even the asthmatic trombone player's practicing. They creaked upright until they were once more in place. Groaning inwardly, they listened to his next orders. '4We'll try a little running now. Fifty times around the track-that isn't so very much, is it? They ran around once and then, as each one waded through his own private pool of perspiration, came to a stop and re-formed their lines. Now listen, you mugs, if you can't look like me in two weeks, you'll be classed as mentally unbalanced. I think this class is that way already.

Sixty-nine Seventy Seventy-one Seventy-two Seventy-three Seventy-four Seventy-Ev Seventy-six Seventy-seven Seventy-eight Seventy-nine CQCIUCQUJ ATHLETICS AND THE WAR tl. EDWARD EISFELDER I T IS not easy to talk of something in a light and humorous way when you truthfully want to say something serious. In the past, a sports write-up for a high school annual has been traditionally high-school: I that is, light headed, comical kid stuff that doesn't quite rank with the Shakespearean annuals. Oh yes? the older people shake their heads in bewilderment at the youngsters, wondering what we are coming tog and some- times we even wonder ourselves. What if a football game does resemble canni- balistic conclave Cfive-dollar wordj ? Compare it with the mess our superiors have gotten the nation into. Who were doing a little playing themselves and couldn't even see into the immediate future? Perhaps we are to blame. Maybe we should not have caused our elders to worry over us instead of permitting them to take inventory of the whole world crisis. We realize now, that we are the future citizens: that we, the youths of America, must first win this war and then settle this turbulent world once and for all after it. When the inevitable peace does come, by that time all the gaunt, down-trodden nations, including our defeated enemies, will have so suffered that their plight will be hopeless unless immediate help is rendered, In desperation they will cry out for us to help their war-torn people back on their feet. In view of this fact and realizing that we, the high school students of today, are the world's leaders tomorrow, we must never falter in our one purpose to make this a free world for the common man forever. Keeping this understanding ever in mind, we turn from the future to the present. The road to victory stretches far beyond us with blood, sweat, and tears for everyone. Our enemies are strong and sly, ever determined to enslave us. Hardships are just beginning to present themselves, with more drastic ones to come, bringing the war right home to our doorsteps. The gravity of the recent fighting has made it imperative for the immediate induction of 18- and I9-year-old youths into the U. S. armed forces. The adaptability with which the younger fellows take to training and army life is needed at once to put new life and zip into our army, for they have the driving qualities necessary to defeat the youthful Axis armies. Their enthusi- asm and daring, combined with the resistance for a rugged life, Ht them perfectly for service. The passing of this bill by Congress was taken in various ways by many people. The remark of many was, It's a crime to send children to war without at least a year's training! There is a job that must be done, the sooner the better. 'iThe men we have in the army now certainly can't do it alone and those youngsters are the only ones able that have got it in them, was the serious attitude taken by others. It seems everyone had something to give as an opinion but did anyone ever care to know just how the 18- and 19-year-old boys themselves feel about being drafted? An average high school senior is I8 years of age or will be soon. So let us move in on a typical high school, Our Town, U. S. A.-Beaumont, for instance. The scene is a cold autumn day out on the old athletic grounds we know so well. The football season is drawing to a climax: so the varsity squad is giving the second stringers their traditional murdering before that big game. Students stand around shivering with hands in pockets as they watch the Eighty CCl6!ll,C0ll5 scrimmaging, while an occasional fall track man comes jogging by. The old baseball diamond looks cold and barren, but it won't for long. The same old racket is issuing from the shower room, while in the gymnasium the basketball squad is just beginning to take shape and the Gym Team goes neatly through its paces on the mats. Yes, it's the Blue Jackets, just as you and I always know them: but there is an unusual air of seriousness predomi- nating every action. We soon discover what it is as one yells out, Hey, Ray, is the Army going to get you? , No, sir! Not me! l'm going to join the Navy. I am, too, only l'm enlisting in the Naval Air Corps. Another young fellow interrupts, What are you going to fly, Harry? A bomber or a fast deck-board fighter? A bomber, of course. What do you see in those dizzy fighters? i'Well, I'll tell you, you can fly your slow old hay-wagon, but I'll drop in and see you some time in my fast little Grumman Wildcat. The three go on kidding each other. but behind those comical antics in every boy's mind are his own big plans for his military career. He is carefully thinking, planning out how he can best helphis country and himself in some branch of the armed forces. Before the war, athletics were frowned on as a waste of time by some people, but now those same critics begin to realize what sports have done and are doing to develop coordination of mind and body in the boys who are going to bring the hard victory that will save the world's civilization. Our nation takes off its hat to honor and praisc American high-school athletes. TENNIS TEAM ELWOOD ROSENKOETTER During the l942 Public High School Tournament, the Blue Jackets dis- played their true abilities by rising from sixth place of the year before to the second position this year, a wonderful comeback. Coach Backus' squad was defeated but once and that was by the Longhorns of Southwest High, who went on to win the championship. The first match of the season was with Cleveland, who tied the Beau- mont team, 2-2. Beaumont won the next two matches from Soldan and Roosevelt by scores of 3-l and 4-0. Their fourth opponent was Southwest, who defeated them by a score of 3-l. After the loss to Southwest, the Blue Jackets swept through the remaining three matches with Blewett, Central, and McKinley, with the loss of only one individual match. The scores were 3-l, 4-0, and 4-O, respectively. Of the members of the team, Richard Weber and Ed Wamhoff were the only returning lettermen. Pour members of the team will be lost by gradua- tion this year, with Clarence Schuettenberg the only letterman to return next year. There will thus be many positions open and all boys who are interested are welcome to try out for Beaumont's Tennis Team. The five positions on the team were filled as follows: First Singles Richard Weber Second Singles Marvin Frazee Third Singles Clarence Schuettenberg D 1 SElwood Rosenkoetter and Cub QS lEd Wamhoff Eighty-one Cl uceud A FOOTBALL 1942 HARVEY ECKLEY AND DICK CROAK To get in shape, Beaumont football veterans started conditioning a week before school commenced, in order to prepare for the very soon opening game with St. Louis High, prep league champions. Although the Bluejackets were humbled by the heavier Junior Billikens 14-6, one of the highlights of this game came when Russ Steger broke loose for a 75-yard run, showing himself to be one of the district's outstanding backs. The Victory Column was started in the next game against Maplewood when touchdowns resulted from fumbles early in the game. Our lead was never overtaken with the Hnal score standing Beaumont 18, Maplewood 6. In our first league encounter we squeezed by Cleveland when in the last few minutes of play Eberhardt blocked a punt, picked up the ball and scampered over the goal line, giving Beaumont a 13-12 victory. The first of many casualties was suffered this year when Emmett Sharkey broke his ankle early in the game. Against Roosevelt, the entire team gave a fine exhibition and the result was a 21-O conquest over the previously unscored upon Rough Riders. The Bluejacket's first league defeat was administered by Soldan. Mike Kickham injured his collar bone and was lost to the team for the rest of the year. On Halloween night the team opposed McKinley and after 48 minutes of struggling, the score was deadlocked, Because of injuries, a revised lineup was used in this game featuring Eckley and Everhardt, both linemen, in the backfield. Eighty-two CGJUCQMJ A crucial game with Southwest followed in which Beaumont handed the Longhorns their first league defeat. Harry EXler's long passes paved the way to a last-quarter victory. After a poor first half our line gave a startling performance, stopping cold the Steer's running attack. The smashing 45-O victory over Central assured the Bluejackets of a tie for the championship. An unusual feature of this game was that the team made ten points more than Mr. Huntington had prophesied during a pep session in the aud. A playoff game with Southwest was arranged and the victor was to be the champion. A hard blow was dealt to Coach Eranklin's squad when three members were called to the Marines just a few days before the game. Playing the game in a near blizzard, the Bluejackets overcame the Longhorns 13-6 to win the championship. Harry Exler's long run of 82 yards put Beaumont in front which they held all the way. Outstanding in their work on defense were Steger, Meyer and Martinago. The team wishes to thank Mr. Stanton, Mr. Franklin and Mr. Elliot for the many hours they devoted in helping them in winning the championship. Many on the team are seniors but the outlook for next year is very promising because of the capable reserves which will take the places of those leaving. This year's letter winners are: Ellis Gregory Jack Hauck Mike Kickham Stanley Luecke Merle Boswell Dick Croak Art Demling Ed Ebeler Wayne Eberhardt Harvey Eckley Harry Exler George Innes Returning Al Martinago Don Meyer Emmett Sharkey Russ Steger Not Returning Wilbert Jansing Vince Mahoney Roy Mattes Jack McKnight Russel Sparrow Meredith Steinmetz Bob Tansey Wm. Walbrink GOLF TEAM MELVIN NICHOLS Last year's golf season at Beaumont might prove to be more successful than has been announced. Soldan's winning of the championship has not been officially decided and hopes are still high that Beaumont may be acclaimed the winner. There seems to be a little controversy about the Soldan team using the same three players over again for a second round, which some quarters hold to be illegal. Every Monday afternoon at Norwood Hills Country Club, the team may be seen taking their practice rounds about the links in preparation for their interscholastic meets. The lettermen who are not returning are Paul Chavaux, Paul Handler, Carl Green, and Dan Wing who, by the way, has joined the U. S. Cavalry. Those who are returning from last year's squad are Kenneth Campbell, Bill Manz and Melvin Nichols. Some promising players who will help in trying to bring next year's golf championship to Beaumont are Alan Schmidt, Edgar Draper, Ed Moreland, and Edward Lansche. W Eighty-three BEAUMONT BASKETBALL SCHEDULE CGCJUCQUJ BASKETBALL EDWARD EISFELDER The 1942-43 basketball season finds Beaumont right in of thickest of the Public High School League fighting. As of today, our Bluejackets have fared exceptionally well, recording for Beaumont a splendid number of victories but we shall not take this time to enter into details of the critical games that are yet to be played. Returning from last year's state championship team have been three regu- lars: Jack Maguire, Jim Solari, and Art Demling, but unfortunately we are losing Demling from this co-ordinated trio through graduation. This vacancy will amply be filled by two alternates, newcomers Winston Gintz and Art Brucker. Bob Enk and Art Saey who haven't returned from last year's squad have equally been replaced by capable Norvell Maxwell and Wayne Eberhardt. Inspired by last year's victories every evening after school you may watch the team practicing hard trying to emulate Beaumont's proud record under the critical eye of Coach Tom Stanton. Just a word to those boys interested in basketball may we say that only four boys now on the squad will return next year, leaving eleven vacancies that must be filled by new talent. These future players are now being trained and put through their paces on the school team which is still lacking sufficient recruits. You younger termers needn't be experts to try out for basketball for every afternoon in the boys' gymnasium, the second stringers have their own workout and practice games.

The coordination of brain, eye, nerve, and muscle that is so necessary in order to excel in rifle shooting is developed only by intensive training. Real expertness, as in any other sport, requires experience that comes only With much time and practice. Every new member is given practical instruction and coaching. lt usually requires from one to three years to attain the rank of Expert lVlarksman . ln the past years the members of the Rifle Team have gone to other schools and have fired shoulder-to-shoulder matches With their teams. Because of the War, transportation facilities have been limited: therefore We are unable to fire such contests, Even though this difficulty hampers us, We intend to stay in this competitive sport by means of postal matches. The remaining members of last year's team are Ralph Haake, Donald Pierce, Allen Yoder, and Frederick Oberheide. Our sponsor, lXflr. Mitchell, deserves much credit for the success of the club. He has shown great patience in giving his time to the meetings every Thursday so that the members may enjoy themselves. Sponsor Mr, Mitchell E ighty-five KGJUCQMJ FALL TRACK ROBERT GILMGRE When fall and winter roll around, many schools drop all activities in track until next spring, but not Beaumont. This fall all boys interested in track participated in two different events, cross country and the Octathlon, the latter being new to Beaumont since last year. Cross country is an event in which very few boys participate. This year only four boys were on the squad: Ed Ross, Don Pierce, John Caslin, and Paul Benz. For several months they train to run a distance of one and a half miles, approximately six laps around the track. Between the halves at football games they put on exhibition meets running against Southwest, Cleveland, Blewett, and Central. No letters will be awarded. Last year Coach Duggins devised an event called the Octathlon, in which new talent for next year's track team might be found. lt proved very successful in that John Molina, our stock midget, was discovered, to aid in winning the public high-school championship for Beaumont. The Octathlon is run in eight events: the 50-, 100-, 220-yard dashes, the 880-yard run, the broad jump, high jump, shot put, and 120-yard hurdles. These are divided into three divisions: senior, junior, and midget. Every boy competes in each of the eight events in his division, earning certain points for placing. They train for four weeks, and on the fifth week the events are run Off, the midget division having only six events.

Before becoming editor, Alice served faithfully for two years in the position of sports editor. Aside from these achievements, Alice has been a busy little bee in the line of extra-curricular activities. She has held the oflice of president in the Library Club. She also has earned a Service Club pin, been a member of the Swimming Team, and has in her possession a Senior Life Saving pin, of which she is extremely proud. Al hates green onions, and brussell sprouts. She enjoys good music Cnot necessarily long- hairedj, and also has a particular liking for life-guards. HAROLD POTH Although he is not a member of the Staff, Harold Poth's talent,co6pera- tion, and hard work have been prime factors in making the CADUCEUS a success. Harold's genial personality and quick wit also have brightened many a fourth-hour session. Aside from his art, he enjoys dancing, having created a style all his own, walking, roller-skating, and bowling. He is partial to red hair and green eyes, and he considers his first date the outstanding moment of his life. lf you Ht Harold's requirements for a dream girl, remember that he likes rare steak, baked fish, and raw carrots. Among his most violent dislikes are Deep in the Heart of Texas , Western movies, glamor girls, and long fingernails. Hard work and fine cooperation have made him an indispensable unofficial member. ROBERT THOMPSON Bob's excellent work as a photographer has made him a decided asset to the Staff this term. His other accomplishments include being president of the Radio Club and belonging to the Burbank Chapter and Technicians Club. Math and science appeal most to Bob, but he likes all his other subjects except typewriting. His pet hate is homework. His dream girl must be five feet four inches, blonde or brunette, and have blue eyes. Among the things he likes best are l'm Dreaming of a White Christmas , Maureen O'Hara, Phil Spitalny's All Girl Orchestra, Rosalind Russell, sports Qtrack and football in particulary , Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, Jack Benny, ham, Tommy Dorsey's There Are Such Things , cherry pie, and the picture, Holiday Inn . His hobbies are photography and radio. Bob has not yet decided what he will do after graduation, but his pleasant personality and various services to the school will certainly be missed when he leaves. fContinued on page 9l.j Eighty-rzine Cl uceud TI-IE DIGEST ELwooD ROSENKOETTER The Digest staff is a group of students who meet every third hour to write articles for the pleasure and experience they get out of it. A visitor,however, would find that pleasure seems more predominant than the gaining experience by writing part of it. Each member on the staff has a certain phase of school life to cover. The editor has to see that the articles are written and are turned in on time. Sometimes this turns out to be a much harder job than it seems it ought to be. When the articles are turned in, however, only half the work is done, because then they must be corrected over and over again so that all the mistakes will be eliminated. The correcting of the copy is under the supervision of the assistant editor, who must find diHerent ways of arousing the staff members from their states of lethargy long enough so that each may individually check over the articles and the galley sheets. ln turn, one of the hardest jobs of the sponsor is keeping the editor and assistant editor from dropping off into indolence, Through a miracle, a prayer, and the combined efforts of the sponsor and printer the Digest is finally put into a finished state ready for delivery to the students. Then the whole process is ready to be repeated again to get the next issue out. On the staff are such famous for infamousj characters as the A'Snooper and A'Old Judge . The l'Snooper this term had a double personality, also giving her the ability to be in two places at once, since two of the members on the staff, Shirley Fishman and Paul Schulze, took turns writing your Ninety CQJUCQU5 THE DIGEST favorite column. The Old Judge , believe it or not, was ably handled by a girl, Marian Petersen, whose scintillating advice was valued by all. Things I Saw came from the able pen of Arline Perlmutter, while Geraldine Heyne recorded the names and deeds of the Beaumont graduates in the service of their country. Madelyn Comfort took care of Alumnotes, the Calendar, and Club News. The field of sports was covered by our veteran sportswriter, Ed Draper, and one of the newer, but able, members, Bob Mosher. Editorials issued from the pens of Elwood Rosenkoetter, Earl Wells, and Geraldine Heyne. Ken Schlichting proved to be one of the most ardent newshounds on the staHf. Jo Ann Pace kept the paper up to date on music news, Patrons' Association, and Mothers' Club. Joan Dorenkamper handled the numerous Maud sessions and news on the Red Cross, and Charles Lakinger handled well any assign- ment which he was given. If you got any amusement from the cartoons in the 'lDigest, thank Harold Poth, because he drew them. On the business end of the staff, Roy Andrews served as an excellent manager, who, with the help of Billy Stuart and Don Willmering took care of the enormous amount of work that accompanies the selling of subscriptions and the delivery of the paper. The typists, who could now qualify as expert hieroglyphic decipherers, did a very commendable job. Serving the staff in this capacity were Rosemary Driesewerd, Patsy Elliott, Doris Havener, Peggy Jostedt, Elaine McFarson, and LaVerne Sanders. Our indispensable sponsor, Mr. Birr, made good use of his experience and knowledge by guiding the staff over the rough and the tight spots. Five members of the staH' will be lost by graduation. They are Marian Petersen, Rosemary Driesewerd, Patsy Elliott, Harold Poth, and Elwood Rosen- koetter. THE LAST WORD CContinued from page 89.j FLOYD VAN SICKLE Floyd is one of the newer members of the CADUCEUS Staff, having joined the group this term. Most of you know Floyd best from the part he took in the Mixed Chorus production, Tune In. Those who know Floyd intimately call him Van , with a Sicklegruber thrown in here and there. Floyd worked hard on the Service Club, but fate was cruel as he did not receive a pin. Van has belonged to the Rifle Club, Alfred Marshall Club, and Mixed Chorus. He does quite a few things in the line of athletics. He roller- skates, swims, plays a fair game of baseball, and plays football after a fashion, to which anyone on the Staff will testify. Floyd dotes on warmed-over spaghetti and all girls--especially Thelma. EARL PIDGEON Among the many industrious members of the CADUCEUS Staff, we find Earl making quite a name for himself. Serving as a staff photographer, he has been found to be a diligent worker. He is a member of the Alfred Marshall, Physiography, and Camera Clubs. His favorite subject is industrial arts and his hobby is photography. As to his dream girl, Earl is not particular. Any good-looking girl will do: but he does hate to see them in slacks! He likes swimming, basketball, girls in general, hayrides, wiener roasts, food, and Red Skelton. Those who know him feel that some day Earl's name will also be included among those of popular contemporary photographers.

This is the History-Travel Club calling everyone to come and participate in our meetings and trips. We have a total membership of 52. The purpose of the club is to study, and to know history, so necessary for under- standing of the present events. These young men and women joined the club because it offered something that appealed to their good American spirit. A Our sponsor has outlined a very interesting program, which will consist of: book reviews: discussion of current events: guest speakers: talks of travel: visiting various historical places of interest: and lectures on historical people. Already We have visited the Art Museum, and the Eugene Field Memorial and had a very enjoyable picnic at Forest Park. We also plan to hear important lecturers, leading writers, professors of Universities, and favorite radio com- mentators. CContinued on page 124.3 Ninezy-two CGELJLLCQM5 SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE CLUB ELIZABETH MCKNIGHT The Senior Girls' Glee Club helps to educate the students of Beaumont in many ways. Among these ways is the learning of a wise use of school time. Cwirls who enjoy the relaxation of group singing belong to this organi- zation. While all the girls are earning credit for Cwlee Club, many come to Room 302 the second period simply because they have learned the appreciation of beautiful music and wish to further themselves in its art. The Glee Club, in its use of the classical type of music, instills in the hearts and minds of the student singers a desire for more of this type of music. The interested student in such an organization, when given a few spare moments, will not let them waste idly away, but will put this time to immediate use. There is not another study that will give greater impetus to an intellectual mind than this, the pursuit of happiness and knowledge through music. The time spent by the girls in rehearsing, is considered as time well spent. Listening to con- certs, singing at Maud sessions, competing in contests, and singing at churches are also some of the things that members of the club accomplish.

On Tuesdays from 3:30- 5':30 they skate at the Crystal: on Wednesdays from 3:45-6:15, at the Arena. At the Arena an hour of free instruction is offered to the boys. The ice-skating continues at the Winter Garden. Last year, for the first time, letters were given to the boys who could pass a test in roller-skating. The test was held at the Crystal, and eleven boys made the grade. Letters have been offered before for the ice-skating. This year the same offer is open to all boys of the club who pass the test in both roller- and ice-skating.

Since its organization in September 1939 this group has enjoyed a steady growth and now numbers about 60. We have outgrown our previous quarters in 304 and are now located in the auditorium. Our organization supplies many members for the Senior Ciirls' Glee Club and the Senior Mixed Chorus. We believe that all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl: so we include in our program some social activities. Recently we had a barbecue in Forest Park. The ones and twos may take Junior Ciirls' Cilee Club instead of their 9th-grade music. The threes and fours receive M credit per term.

The membership this term consists of eighty-three boys and girls, in good proportion for our type of Work. lncidentally, we have a very good tenor section, not only in number but in ability. A special stress on reading at sight makes it possible for us to do group work under our own power, becoming less dependent on our sponsor, Miss Brix. lt also makes it possible for us to undertake many diHferent songs. Included in our activities this term was an outing at Forest Park, with plenty of good food, vigorous exercise and joyful song. The many close friendships within the chorus helped to make our outing a success, We have engaged in various programs during this half year, lending our voices in song to the occasion.

This reason, along with the fact that every member works for the good of the club, has made it one of the most popular clubs in Beaumont. As in other years, our club will hold its fall party sometime in December, and, as always, this is to us one of the biggest occasions of the year.

Many of the members were new and inexperienced and-most important- there was no suitable room available in which to meet. Through the eH'orts of Mr. Stamm, a corner of the lunchroom was converted into a music room, but this arrangement proved unsatisfactory because of the noise and activity in the lunchroom. The club made progress, however, and early in the term was represented by a double-quartet at the installation of officers at the Women Voters League of St. Louis which was ably assisted by Stanley Starr, a former member of the Glee Club, now studying under Reinald Warrenrath of Wash- ington, D. C. The entire organization sang several patriotic numbers at the Elk's Club celebration in honor of Navy Day and soon afterwards sang in the school auditorium during an auditorium session when the school was visited by a former member of the Flying Tigers.

The Senior Band is composed of approximately sixty-ive members who either have been transferred from the Junior Band or taken from the student body: and, as everyone knows, we practice every morning the A period in the auditorium. Eileen Shelley, drum major, and Ruth Tobin, majorette, have really worked hard to make our band a well-trained unit, in music and in marching. This term our director, president, drum major, and majorette have originated and carried through many very difhcult drills, which were used at the football games. Much credit is due them for their work, which would have been impossible without the co-operation of a fine group of hard-working people.

The lce-Skating Club, Which has long been one of Beaumont's largest and most popular clubs, meets every Friday after school at the Winter Garden. ln addition to the fun derived from ice-skating, We find it a healthful form of sport, filling us with vim, vigor, and vitality. The last skating session is the most exciting, for it is then that the members can win a letter by skating six times around the rink. Our dues are twenty-live cents a year, which entitles us to a reduced rate at the Winter Garden, a picture in CADUCEUS, and our annual outing. Why not join now and get in on the fun?

At one of our first meetings, Miss Press outlined our activities for the term. No doubt you have seen the scrapbook in the library. It is the catalogue of new books. That's one thing we do every third Thursday of the month. But that isn't all. Every term we buy a book which every member reads. At the end of the term we have an open discussion about the book pro and con, We outline the author's life also and in that way form our own opinion why the author wrote the book. g Our activities also include trips to various places of interest, such as radio stations, libraries, dairies, and bakeries.

To beginners the processes of developing film and of printing and enlarging pictures are taught at the expense of the club. Since, in practically every field of knowledge the proper technique is the prominent factor, all members, both experienced and otherwise, are given pointers on how to better their pictures. The active members of the club may use freely the dark room, enlarger, printer and other equipment, upon getting the permission of the sponsor, Miss Conrad. Since the club has not the capacity for more, membership is limited to twenty-live. Some of the more experienced members earn money, Which goes into the club treasury, by making reprints of the CADUCEUS pictures of various organizations. Snapshots of scenes about the school, such as were seen in the previous issue of the CADUCEUS are also taken by members prolicient in this line of Work. Among the many enterprises of this club are picture-taking trips and scavenger hunts, talks by experts in photography and participation in exhibits of various kinds. The dark room in 236 is completely supplied with standard equipment, Only enthusiastically interested people are desired and approved for membership in our club.

The club meets every other Wednesday in 403. If one should happen to pass this room on such a Wednesday, he would hear faint sounds of Latin issuing forth. At one of these meetings, several members presented a play titled Dido and Aeneas, starring Marie Prange as Dido and Morry Schimmel as Aeneas. At another meeting our sponsors, Miss Buckley and Miss Riedel, could be seen sparring with each other in a gladia- torial combat.

Members of the Shakespeare Club, however, are privileged to experi- ence this thrill at our regular meetings every other Tuesday in Room 308. Every term we dramatize one of Shakespeare's great works under the super- vision of a youthful director. Costumes are improvised, and every eH'ort is made to present our amateur productions in the most professional way possible. This term Twelfth Night, a light comedy, has been selected for study. The entire club is divided into two groups, each to present alternate acts through Act IV. An all-star cast, selected from both groups, will present the final act, A director is selected by each group, and it is his responsibility to cast parts, call rehearsals, and finally present the finished product before the remainder of the club. By dramatizing a new work each term we become familiar with the greatest poetry of all time. We also retain some of the Bard of Avon's wise philosophy -philosophy which will live through the ages. Our members respond to the roll-call with such wise quotations as: The evil that men do lives after them: The good is oft interred with their bones, A'Lord, what fools these mortals bel and 'AThe quality of mercy is not strained, We are proud of our club, and we are proud of the high standards it maintains by admitting only students of high scholastic record.

You have? The answer to the question, Where does it originate? is not a military secret nor is it an unsolved mystery. The answer is the Beaumont Senior Orchestra. Some of the members of the orchestra on first joining can not read music too well nor follow a director easily, but from the experience gained by joining the Senior Orchestra, we have developed into fairly good musicians, Anyone playing a musical instrument with a moderate degree of skill is urged to join the orchestra to further his or her knowledge of music. The Beaumont Senior Orchestra plays for such school activities as audi- torium sessions, graduations, operettas, and similar occasions which require the presence of an orchestra capable of symphonic and semi-symphonic music.

The efforts of these Uenharmonic swingsters seem to be valued by the A'hep fellows and girls about Beaumont and even by the oldsters, because they receive many invitations to play for various groups. The usual line-up of instruments is similar to that of the average dance orchestra. The practice sanctum is 304, where the jam pilgrims congregate at 3:00 o'c1ock every Wednesday. T New recruits come in from time to time, moving from substitute to first position in brass, string, reed, or rhythm sections.

This is the Junior Band reporting-a group of inexperienced musicians, representative of the student body, who meet every day the fifth hour in Room 304. Although for the most part we know little or nothing about the particular instrument which has been chosen, as the term progresses and our knowledge increases, the sounds coming from 304 become less jumbled and soon resemble a smooth melody. As soon as we learn the mechanism and science of our instrument, the largest and most important task is over. Then, when Miss Brix believes our ability is high enough, we are transferred to the Senior Band and thereafter participate in their activities. The Junior Band is open to everyone who has the desire to play an instru- ment. Terms one and two may substitute it for chorus, and three and above receive credit toward graduation. If you are interested, we extend our heartiest invitation for you to join us.

Its roots lie deep in the battles of old India: yet it contains all the modern elements of the second front. It is, in fact, more like a modern battle than anything else. The battle starts with the pawns, the infantry of the chessboard, breaking rank and charging into the fray. Next come the knights, comparable to the air force, to protect the infantry and to strike the enemy where he leasts expects it. Close on their heels come the bishops, acting as light artillery and laying down a barrage. Then, as a close knit team, the light artillery and air force swing into action, attacking the queen, the chessboards tanks, and the king, who serves as G. H. The rooks, or heavy artillery, wheels into action to lay down a protective barrage for the G. H. Q., and the battle is on. From here the battle belongs to the strongest. The knights roar into action deep in enemy territory, hitting strong points and destroying communications. The pawns charge forward to kill or be killed for the glory of their colors. Then when the enemy is softened, the king and queen lead the invasion of enemy territory to capture the opposing general staff and win the battle. If you play chess, if you would like to learn to play chess, or if you are not sure, come and join us. We meet every Tuesday at three o'clock in Room 230. The game does not take long to learn: it has fewer rules than either football or baseball: it has been found to be a constant source of enjoyment once learned. So remember to come Tuesday. We are always glad to welcome a new member. President Elwood Rosenkoetter Secretary Morry Schimmel Vice-President and CADUCEUS Correspondent Henry Holland Sponsor Mr. Feldman .

CGCJUCQUJ SENIORS IAN CRowDER The time has come when we, the class of June '43 the largest class ever to be graduated from Beaumont, must bid farewell to our highly esteemed school. With fond memories and regret in our hearts, we leave these 'Awarm and friendly halls. For the majority of the class, the past four years have slipped by much too rapidly. Beaumont has watched us develop from adolescence, as freshmen, to young men and women: has exerted tremendous influence in the moulding of our characters, and the development of our personalities. Soon we, Beaumont's favorite sons , must venture forth into a turbulent world- a confused world, bloodied and scarred by a disastrous war, wrought by tyranny. Most of us will enter into some occupation connected with the war effort. A large percentage of the boys will go directly into some branch of the armed forces, many of the girls volunteering for various units of the Women's Auxiliary Corps. Others will take jobs in our war plants throughout the country. Some boys have seized the opportunity to go to a university under the sponsorship of the United States Government. Still others will enroll in colleges to study a commercial profession. Thus our willingness to be of service to Cmod and our country is brought to the fore by our motto, 'AReady to Serve. On the battlefield, in industry, in the home, wherever we go, we will always cherish the memories of our days at Beaumont.

Q-B 4 M A ? . NEW SENMUDEIBS NEW SENIORS-A-K Sixty-four NEW SENIORS-L-Z CQCJUCQU5 NEW SEN IORS GEORGIA MARQUARD New Seniors! With the significance of these two words, we, the classiof January 1944, cross another milestone of progress. No longer looked upon as baliied new jays , studious sophomores, or diligent juniors, we climb one .step further toward our goal--graduation. Although still concerned chiefly with our studies, we find many extra social activities added to our programs. We are especially fortunate and honored this term to be the guests of the Senior Class at their tree-planting ceremony and party. This was 'the first time for quite a while at Beaumont that the New Seniors have been invited to a Senior get-together . Our social life will continue with the traditional New Senior party, along with numerous Maud sessions, dancing classes, committee meetings, etc. However, we must not forget our prime purpose of acquiring knowledge. We have a definite standard to uphold-a standard met by every graduating class thus far. From all indications, the class of January l94-4 will rise high above this standard and leave at Beaumont memories of outstanding .leadership service, and ability. To help us attain these standards, we have chosen the following officers: X President Harry Saalmueller Vice-President Gloria Sittner Treasurer John Walsh Secretary Georgia Price HDigest Correspondent Shirley Fishman CADUCEUS Correspondent Georgia Marquard John Nelson Student Council Representatives Vv'illette Haefner lRichard Bleikamp flohn Fetters Executive Committee Carol Stobie Bob Waites S SlVliss Cunningham ponsors 2Miss Quellmalz Sixty-five A good book, an inspiring play, a soaring song-they can raise the spirit of a people out of the depths of oppression to the gallant hope for freedom. Literature is the medium of world unity. EHEPEMRLSATQULHE CGJUC 2116 DISCOVERY MELVA MARTY I T WAS apleasant midsiummer day. Gentle breezes were softly lulling I wild cardinal climber vines to and fro. Countless daisies could be seen scattered over the rolling countryside. Bees were humming as they l ' ' hovered over the sweet-smelling roses. Somewhere in the distance a wood-thrush was warbling and a mocking-bird was attempting to imitate him. Dust danced golden in the bright sunshine. It seemed that every element of nature had worked to make that day one of contented harmony. Karaan Barton lounged deep in the soft cushions of the swaying glider on the broad, cool porch of the white farmhouse, absorbed in a book. Her brother, Neil, was reclining on a low branch of the giant oak tree nearby with his hands clasped behind his head, lost in reverie. lt was a wonderful day for being just lazy. Suddenly the peaceful stillness was shattered by the sound of cheerful voices heralding the appearance of the twins, Virgil and Virginia, and Esther at the door. 'AHey, there, you lazy things! Virgil shouted. Pick up yourselves! Mom says that we should gather the peaches from the trees in the south pasture. We can take our lunch along and have a picnic, too, added the girls. Karaan wrinkled up her nose and yawned as her mother joined the group at the door. Do we really have to go, Mom? she asked softly. At Mrs. Barton's nod, Neil grimaced and said, Oh, Mom, can't we do it tomorrow? lt's too nice right now. The fruit is becoming too ripe, Neil. It must be harvested immediately, was the firm reply. 'AGO ahead! A little work won't hurt you. Reluctantly the two disentangled themselves and began preparations for the excursion. Neil brought out the little pony cart and began packing it with bushel baskets and a medium sized ladder. Karaan strolled into the house and set out bread and butter for sandwiches. Esther stood close by to see that nothing was forgotten. Presently all was in readiness. Karaan came out of the kitchen door bearing a basket filled with food. As she placed it in the cart, she also furtively tucked her fascinating book into a corner. Esther, the smallest, was allowed to ride in the cart along with the baskets and the ladder. The distance between the house and the pasture was covered in a very short time. As they entered the enclosure, they could see the trees loaded down with the richly colored ripe peaches. Breaking into a run, the twins reached the trees first and sank their teeth into some of the juicy, sweet fruit. In an instant their faces and hands were smeared with pulp. Here, now, called Neil as he came abreast of them: 4'that's enough of that! Those peaches were sprayed and must be washed before they are eaten. You could be poisoned. Look at you! Go down to the creek and wash your faces! We'w'e got to get to work, now that we're here. Looking somewhat crestfallen, Virgil and Virginia hurried down the slope to the little stream which ran nearby. As they disappeared, Neil set up the ladder, climbed it, and began filling the bag he had slung over his shoulder. Sixty-eight KGJUCQLLJ Karaan was picking the peaches that could be reached from the ground. They worked steadily and silently, gradually filling their bags. Esther wandered down the hill in search of the twins. Sounds of their voices came drifting back. Abruptly Virginia and Esther called from the top of the slope, 'AKaraanI Neil! A little pig broke through the fence and fell into a cave. He can't get out! Tell Virgil to climb down and get it out, replied Neil. We're busy. Catch the animal and put him back with the others. Without a word the girls ran back down the side of the knoll. Neil and Karaan continued their work, but when nearly half an hour had passed, Karaan remarked, I wonder how the kids are getting on with their pig. I can still hear them shouting. Let's knock off working for a while and go down and see, suggested Neil, descending the ladder. As they approached the spot where Virginia and Esther seemed to be staring at the ground, they could hear Virgil's voice although he was not in sight. Neil, who was a little ahead of Karaan, stopped short at a gaping hole in the ground, the entrance to one of the numerous little caves that wound about underneath the pasture. Many other such holes broke the otherwise smooth ground. Their origin had always been a mystery, but after several horses, cows, and calves had fallen into them and had been trapped there, Mr. Barton had decided to remove all the stock and let that pasture lie idle. When they stooped and peered down into the cave, Neil and Karaan could see Virgil chasing a squealing little pig back and forth. Each time he lunged for it, it would somehow wriggle away. Neil laughed and jumped down into the hole to join the chase. Between them they managed to get a hold on the little animal and hand it to Karaan, who took it to the fence and lowered it on the other side to run with the other pigs. You boys can come back up now, yelled Virginia. 'AWe have to pick some more peaches. Receiving no answer, she called again. There was no reply, but she heard Virgil talking somewhere in a far corner of the pasture. By this time Karaan had returned, and after peering into several holes, the girls located Neil and Virgil. Come on down, said Neil: we've found something interesting. Come on! We'll help you. When the girls had partly climbed and had partly been lifted down, Neil struck, a match and picked up an object from a darker corner of the passage to the next hole. It was an almost perfect flint arrowhead. There are loads of them in the caves, explained Virgil. We discovered them while chasing the pig, Eagerly they all began groping about for more. They found several arrow- heads, but the darkness hindered them. Since there was no flashlight in Neil's or Virgil's pockets, Virginia thought of building a ire in the cave to give them light, The boys climbed out and gathered twigs and sticks and shortly had a fire going which dimly lighted the cave and cast weird shadows over the walls, Once again they began to search. Flint arrowheads, fragments of toma- hawks, the remains of what might have been a tom-tom, and several pieces of not too much shattered pottery were discovered in nooks and corners. Look, this old jar has some painting on it, said Esther as she picked up a small earthen pot. Sixty-nine C d uceud , Karaan leaned forward for a clearer view. It seems to be covered with Indian signs. The colors must have been very brilliant once. It's a wonder that we can still see them. While they stood admiring the jar, the fire began to sputter. Well, I'l1 beg exclaimed Virgil, it's raining. Clouds must have blown up while we were finding these things. Virgil, you and Neil go and get our lunch from the cart, urged Karaan. We can eat it down here. The boys climbed out and ran through the rain while the girls set about moving the fire away from the opening, adding fuel, and fanning it higher. Soon the food was passed around, and all proceeded to eat, continuing the hunt at the same time, until the lunch basket was empty. It was quickly refilled, this time with booty from the cave. When they climbed out, they found that the rain had ceased as suddenly as it began. Boys, called Karaan, it is getting late. We had better start for home. Let's get this stuff into the cart. Won't Dad be surprised when he sees what we found in his caves! exclaimed Virgil. Let's exhibit these relics at the County Fair next month. To think that I have been buying arrowheads for my collection when we had loads right here on our own farm! What about the peaches? remarked little Esther softly. We didn't get many. Either the others did not hear this statement, or they politely ignored it, for they walked silently on. In spite of this, however, each knew that a scolding would be forthcoming upon Mrs. Barton's seeing their scanty load of peaches. Yet no one seemed to care: the dreams of future delights provided by their relics held supreme place in their minds. No, not even the prospect of their mother's anger could dampen their spirits. They were oblivious to everything except their fascinating discovery. WORTH FIGHTING .FOR JACQUELYN KLEEN Our men know this country is worth fighting for. What more can a patriot do?

Anne yelled as she watched Peggy roast her last hot-dog over the huge bonfire. The fire, built in tlge clearingf oi a depse foresndconferrgd a vgarm, crimsqgn glow c to t e faces o t e gir s scattere aroun it. o-me were nee ing beside it toasting marshmallows and roasting wieners. A little farther out, a large group of them, sitting in an immense circle, were singing their camp songs. Others were standing in small, intimate groups, talking and devouring vast portions of potato chips and hot-dogs. As a whole, it represented a very lively and somewhat noisy scene. This was Anne's first experience at these house-parties, and she was sharing a cabin in Nightingale Village with Joyce, Peggy, and Helen. As Anne walked toward her cabin' with her companions, she listened to the other girls discussing the counselor of their village, Mrs. Jordan. Her ability to keep o-rder and quiet in her jurisdiction had renown Igar and wide. Just our luck to have her in charge of our village! said eggy. Yeah, she'll probably spoil all our fun! groaned Helen. Golly, it's dark. Is this our cabin? asked Anne, in a hushed, frightened voice. I think so, ventured Joyce, as she opened the screen door. Slowly they crept into the inky cabin, and as they stumbled around in the darkness, they were conscious of the roughness of the walls and floor around them and of a faint scent of hickory drifting in from the bonfire. Finally they found their flashlights, and after fifteen minutes of giggling and chatter, they hiard the piercing voice of Mrs. Jordan from outside. Al right, girls. Lights out! Let's all quiet down, now. Suddenly the entire village was strangely silent and dark. 'Tm hungry, whispered Helen, who could never keep quiet. Now that's an idea, agreed Peggy. Who's got food? Each one crept over to her suitcase and produced a bag of something. Apples, candy, popcorn, sandwiches, and cookies all helped to make up the feast. Spirits once again began to rise and singing commenced. 'iKookaburra sits on an old gum tree, Merry, merry king of the bush is he, Laugh, Kookaburra, laugh, Kookaburra, Gay your life must be. Suddenly they heard a loud rapping on the wall. Quiet, please! came a fiercecommand. Each one scrambled back to her' cot. Oh, gee, isn't this awful? choked Anne over a half-eaten sandwich. I've got an idea, cried Joyce. We're not going to sleep, anyhowg so why don't we wait until Mrs. Jordan's asleep and then sneak out to Ruth's cabin at the other village? But what if we get caught? asked Helen. Why try anything so risky the first night? Oh, don't be silly! She won't miss us, came the reply from Joyce. Come on, let's get started. So after a little contemplation the plan was seized upon with delight. After each one had picked up her contribution to the feast, they opened the Seventy-one 66l6!l,LCeu5 screen door once again and stole out into the night. Their trench coats were wrapped around them and peculiar-looking rags covered the mass of bobby pins on their heads. One by one they proceeded grimly in a line of march, desperately clutching a package. Never before had the woods seemed so strange or so lonely. Long shadows extending over the path and the wind sighing through the branches made the surroundings frightening. Peggy kept getting off the path and stumbling over dead branches or vines, much to the distress of the rest. 'Hleepersl Are you sure we're going the right way? mumbled Helen after they had groped their way for some time. Just then Peggy fell again, spreading her popcorn among the fallen leaves. I wonder if we should have come at all, remarked Helen. 'lOf course! We'll be all right after we get there, reassured Joyce. I suppose so, came the doubtful reply, but, golly, l'm scared. Oh, Helen, will you keep quiet! You're actually frightening me, scolded Peggy. By this time Anne was becoming tired, and she wondered if anyone else was. All around her she could see nothing but the tall trees outlined against the sky. Grimly the party moved on through the forest. 'ALookI Isn't that the cabin over there? asked Peggy. Eagerly they began running, impatient to get out of those gloomy woods. 'AHello, there! Ruth! Aggie! It was no use. They were all sound asleep, and although the girls called loudly as they dared, there simply was no response. And so they faced the ordeal of going back. Slightly later four weary girls tottered past Mrs. .lordan's cabin. Upon reaching their own, they put their crushed sandwiches and other remains of the spread on the table and fell limply into their cots. Bugle call at six A. Nl., strangely enough, got no response from Cabin No. 4 in Nightingale Village. THE HERO J UANITA MoNKEN There is a little man across the sea Whose unkempt hair hangs low upon his face.

The CADUCEUS vouches for the integrity of every statement that appears in this article. One day you are sitting at home, doing your homework. Well, sitting at home anyway. Mind you, peacefully minding your own business without a malicious thought in your noggin. Without any provocation, your mother asks you to run down to the butcher shop and get her a sirloin steak and five pork chops. What does she think she has for a son-a boy or a task force? You begin to plead with her. Oh, no Mom, anything but that! I-I'll wash dishes, I'll shine your shoes, I'll do my homework, I'll do anything: but please don't send me to the butcher shop. You're pleading is of no avail. You continue. Mom, don't you love me any more, Don't you realize that if I go down there I may never come back? Oh, quiet, and stop acting silly, is the reply. '4There is no danger in going to the butcher's. Boy, is she living in the past! Okay, I'll go, but you'll be sorry when you see me lying white-faced in my coffin. Then you'll wish you'd never sent me into that madhouse.- fEditor's note: Madhouse is a term in American slang, usually used in reference to a butcher shop.j Shut up and get out of here, is the heartless reply. So, much against your will, you are forced to go on an errand that is certain to lead to disaster. You arrive at the store and you get an empty feeling in your stomach right away when your eye catches the sign painted on the awning. J. A. BLACK, MARKET. Over the door is the notice: ENTER AT YoUR owN RISK. You resign yourself to your fate and decide to get in the waiting line. After waiting for an hour and a half you find that the line is moving up rapidly. Why, you're almost in the door now! Upon forcing your entrance into the store, you find it jammed full, Boy, are the people in this store rough! Why, it's worse than a Legionnaire convention, Finally you get up to the counter. 'AMr. Black, you say in a most innocent tone, give me a tender sirloin steak and five pork chops. What happens? Black stands behind the counter and chuckles to himself. Well, how about a pound of ground beef? Still Mr. Black just chuckles. If you haven't got pork chops, and you haven't got sirloins and you haven't got beef, what in the name of heaven have you got? 'AWe have something nice in the way of smoked herring. Seventy-three 60611100115 Omigosh! you exclaim. Well, give me two pounds of herring, then. After you get your order, begins the valiant effort to get out of the store. With your head down and your fish tucked under your arm like a football, you commence to plow through the multitudes. Before you are able to get out, you are a mangled mass of flesh and you look like an accident going somewhere to happen. Now begins the homeward trek. You wonder if your battle-weary legs can take you there. Upon entering the house, the first thing your mother says is: Johnny, you've been lighting again. Just for that you don't get any allowance for the next two weeks. It is times like this when a fellow feels like running away to a more peaceful life-like the Marines.

Seventy-four Cacluceuzi ALL IS WELL TI-IAT ENDS WELL LA VERNE SKAGGS H 5521 OOD morning, Mr. Keene, said a suspiciously silky voice, calling lugs, . . . . qi his attention to a thin, sharp-faced woman standing before the CfgQ.5,,l teller's window. Don Keene looked up from his work at Elmwood's IL?-4 . - y - ct- 'sss' ' largest bank into the eyes of Mrs. Graham, the town s most notorious gossip. Good morning, Mrs. Graham, replied Don, not too warmly. 'lWhat can I do for you this morning? You want to make a deposit of 3302? Do you have your bank book with you? Mrs. Graham handed Don her bank book and stood with poorly concealed eagerness to watch his reaction to her next statement. I see you and Mrs. Keene have company over to your house. A very nice-looking gentleman he is, too. She was rewarded for her trouble by the utterly blank expression which crossed Don's face. She continued, UI always did say a man as hand- some as that, especially in a uniform, was too dangerous to have around. He and Mrs. Keene drove off in his nice shiny auto about nine o'clock this morn- ing. You haven't told me who he is yet, Nlr. Keene. Oh, uh-uh--he's my brother from Texas. Yes, that's it. He's my brother in the army in Texas, stuttered Don as he handed Mrs. Graham her deposit book. I-IumphI grunted Mrs. Graham and looked slightly disappointed and not too believing as she stalked away with a cloud of disapproval resting on her face. All day Don thought of what Mrs. Graham had told him. Of course, he knew the man wasn't his brother because his brother had been sent across the week before, and as he thought about it he became more and more positive that it was Gordon Crane. Gordon Crane! Even the name sounded romantic. As he worked he remembered just how this feeling of rivalry for Gordon Crane had' come about. Don and his wife Paula had attended the same university, and it was there they met Gordon. Right from the Hrst Gordon had given Paula a rush. In the beginning, Paula tried to ignore him, but at the same time, Don, who had to work to put himself through school, urged Paula to go with Gordon because he knew he himself couldn't spend as much time with her as he would like. Finally came the day Don realized that he liked Gordon all too well, and that he himself was seeing Paula less and less. One evening, when the air was heavy with spring, Don had been late in keeping a date to take Paula to the concert. Paula Cwho by this time was completely spoiled by Gordon's lavish waysj quarreled with Don violently and said bitter things about his not being considerate enough even to be prompt. Immediately the atmosphere became super-charged with unsaid things and before either knew what had happened, a tense, white-faced Don had turned on his heel and walked out. After hours of walking and thinking he returned to his room, and there on the table was a note from Gordon merely stating that he and Paula had eloped. Seventy-Eve Qflufeuff Much later Don'was still sitting on the edge of his bed and holding his head in his hands. Then he heard the knob turn and in walked Gordon- alone. In a low voice Don broke the silence, 'lWhere's Paula? After a long period during which Gordon walked in, shut the door and took off his hat, he answered, She's home. I think you'd better go to her. She's waiting for you. Something within Don made him dress and go to Paula's rooming-house. There he found a pale, tear-stained, penitent Paula, who declared her love for him over and over again: and who said she had at last come to her senses in time to avoid the greatest mistake of her life. After that all went smoothly between Don and Paula, but still underneath was that tiny seed of distrust which Paula had sown in Don's heart. Don graduated with high honors and went immediately to his job in Elmwood Bank. He and Paula were married in a lovely typical church wedding, with all the usual white satin, tulle veiling, tons of flowers, and smiling guests. Occasionally they heard bits of news about Gordon, who was in the Air Force now. Don himself had been classified in 3A because of his marriage. Occasionally, too, Don had the vague sensation that perhaps Paula was not as happy as she should have been. He often wondered if she ever regretted her choice, but neither of them ever spoke of the subject. Recently Don had gotten a promotion at the bank and he now realized that he had been neglecting Paula lately for his new duties. Several times he had had to work far into the evening. Paula had broken several social engagements because Don couldn't make it. Many evenings he had been too tired to stay awake long enough to have a quiet evening at home. The more he thought about all this the more Don became anxious as to who the visitor was. Had it really been Gordon? Vv'here could he and Paula have gone so early in the day? Did Paula really regret her marriage? He did not know. At noon he called the house, but there was no answer. During the after- noon he worked feverishly in an effort to Hnish his work earlier than usual. After the bank closed he called once again, but still no one answered. On his way home he bought a lovely corsage of gardenias and also two tickets to the newest show in town. He planned to take Paula to dinner and a show that night in an attempt to remind her that he did still love her. He drove up before the little brick cottage, and immediately he could tell she was not there. The door was closed and the shades were drawn: the porch and the wide low steps were unswept. Slowly he unlocked the door and stepped in. The living room had been hurriedly straightened. Walking into the bedroom, he saw that the bed was unmade and that Paula's dressing gown and bed room slippers were lying on the bed as if they had been hastily discarded. In the kitchen the breakfast dishes were in the sink unwashed. Nowhere to be seen was Paula. Slowly he walked back into the bedroom. There on the vanity, amid Paula's array of bottles and jars, he found the note. At first he could not comprehend it. He read it twice before its meaning had registered upon his stunned brain. He read it again: DEAREST DON I Try to forgive me for the step I am about to make, but it is all I can see to do. Will explain later, PAULA. Seventy-six 606,116 811,15 Dazedly he folded the note and put it into his pocket. Then, again, as that time four years ago, he sat on the edge of the bed and held his head in his hands. So it really had been Gordon! So she really had been in love with him all these years. She had only married Don to keep from hurting him. Now he knew the meaning of that far-away expression he had surprised on her face so often lately. Now he knew why she had seemed so discontented. The very stillness of the house seemed to be weighing in upon him, and he realized how desperately he loved Paula and how he could not go on with- out her. Suddenly the front door swung open and there stood a tired, dirty Paula with smudges of black on her face, clad in brown coveralls. When she saw Don she took a quick step forward. Don, she said, Don, I felt I had to do it. Don, I thought of how our boys are lighting and dying for us and how your own brother might be fighting right this minute. I thought of how they might call you too almost any time, Don, and I just had to do it. Don't you see, dear? I know it'll be hard on us at first until we are more used to it, but please, Don, I just had to get a job in the cartridge plant. It seems such a little thing to do to help. She had expected him to say, UNO, I don't want my wife to work, and she had prepared herself for such an answer, but she was indeed surprised to see an expression of almost incredible relief spread across Don's face. You mean you didn't leave me after all-I mean, you mean you still love me-Oh, well-I mean, was Gordon Crane here? he stammered. 'lWhy, yes. Yes, he was here, she answered calmly. I-Ie dropped in just as I was leaving for the employment office this morning and he offered to take me down in his car. I-Ie was only in town for a few hours and he thought he'd stop by and look us up. Oh, darling, I'm so glad I didn't marry him that time. Just imagine being married to a man who flirts with every woman he sees! Don, I'd much, much rather have you than all the Gordons in the world. Don, I love you. My darling, murmured Don as his lips came down on hers.

Seventy-seven Cacluceud DARK NIGHT BERNICE SCHETTLER I-IE'night was perfect-not too hot and not too cool. The moon shone 5255, prilghtly, illuminating that part of the earth with a gentle, shadowy 1212 ' I lg ill' ji In a quiet back room of a large building somewhere in an Ameri- can city a group of silent people thought of how lucky they were because the moon was shining. It meant they wouldn't have to use flashlights to betray their presence and also that crowds of people would be abroad using the moonlight as their blackout lamp. Those in that back room were strangely quiet. With faces blackened and arms and legs covered with black or brown stockings, they sat motionless. No one stirred or spoke. Now and then a match flickered as someone lit a cigarette. Gradually the group became larger as one by one another silent figure would drift into the room. They, too, were disguised. In the main part of the building, another group was also steadily growing larger, but in a different way. This body increased by threes and fours and sometimes by entire families, all entering at the large center door. No grim, blackened, muddy faces here. They laughed, joked, and talked openly among themselves. Now, a crying baby would be lulled to sleep by its mother: occasionally friends called to one another across the hall. Certainly they did not suspect what was going on in that little back room not fifty feet away. The little back room was almost full now. Two more silent figures stepped in noiselessly and closed the door behind them. A quiet little man, sitting unobserved, but apparently very nervous, rose as the two entered. 'iThat all? he questioned, A nod of the head was the answer. Lifting his wrist, he murmured Nine minutes , and then-'iYou all know what you are to do. Mike! A tall, muscular looking man, followed by a slightly smaller one, dis- engaged himself from the rest of the group and came forward. You have everything fixed? he was questioned. At a nod the questioner continued, I'll drop my arm, and then you pull on those ropes-and pull hard. Understand? Another nod. 'iDink! At the call, a small, i'mousy sort of a man stepped up. You also have your instructions. You will push the switch when I drop my arm. That is all. This conversation over, the body again lapsed into silence. But now it seemed that the larger, jovial assembly outside was quieting. Were they begin- ning to suspect something? Pray that they wouldn'tI Tonight just had to be a success: but would it? The silence of the back room was 'now being broken by restless stirring. Furtive glances were shot at last-minute instruc- tions clutched in each member's hands. The outer audience was now, too, almost silent. Why didn't they speak? How much longer would this silence continue? The small man who had previously spoken, glanced at his watch and said, Three minutes. - The men addressed as Mike and Dink arose and left the group. They were followed almost immediately by about half the assembly. Those remaining Seventy-eight I CGJUCQU6 rose and stood as if waiting for something to happen. The eyes of all were upon the little man, who was now stationed in a hallway. His arm rose, and then-dropped. At the ropes, Mike and his helper pulled hard: the switch was thrown, and some fifty dark-faced individuals ran to face the other group. Suddenly the jovial audience arose en masse, a cymbal clashed, and both groups sang forth The Star-Spangled Banner . At its conclusion, the music subsided, the audience quieted, settled down, and the Negro Minstrel of l943 began its fourth successful run at the National Theatre. MIDNIGHT EPISODE EDNA SMITH The ground in the old church burial yard was littered with leaves of faded splendor. The wind was plucking the leaves savagely from the branches, driving them along at a furious rate, until the mounds of dirt or the adamant monu- ments checked them. The leaves rattled like skeletons risen from the dead, and the low moaning wind was comparable to the cries of the tortured dead. This night in late October was very cold. The western wind swirling across the fields was a breath of winter. It caused the old bell in the. church tower to give a melancholy clang. If one had been abroad this night, and had happened to walk near the old church yard, he would have seen a strange sight. At this very moment, the shadowy figure of a man was moving silently between the graves. At the sound of a far-off train whistle the man stood still, looked furtively behind him, and then resumed his way. He seemed to be searching for something, and as he walked along he inspected each tombstone carefully. At last he seemed to find what he wanted. To make sure, he struck a match and looked down at the crumbling tombstone. Yes, it was the right one. There was the inscription. A JOHN PHILLIP REID A BORN 1787 DIED 1851 Ah, at last! This was the moment he had been waiting for. He laid hold of the shovel that he had with him and began to dig. He dug steadily, striking the ground in accompaniment with the intonation of the bell. The night was bitterly cold and the man had to stop often to stamp his feet and warm himself. But despite these few intervals, there was now quite a pile of dirt beside the grave. The shovel gave a metallic clang as it struck the casket. The man drug around the edges of the casket and lowered himself into the grave. Using the shovel as a hammer, he loosened the rusty locks. He grasped them in his hands and slowly began to raise the creaking lid. Then he leaned over and peered into the casket. What was the secret of the old grave- Ward and this aged casket? Pat Morris and Jim Landis, sitting in the seventh row of the Princess Theater, holding tightly to each others hands, wondered too. Seventy-nine KGCJUCQUJ JUNIOR LOOKS AT LIFE Translated from the Canine by DAVID OLIENSIS1 My name is Junior, and I'm the trixiest little doggie who ever peeled and ate a tangerine. And I'm fierce, too. When people ring the doorbell, I bark, real, real loud and ferocious, and they think I'm a great big dog, and they get scared and run away. And when I hold my ears up, all alert, I'm handsome, too: although I admit that when my ears are down, I'm not very nifty- looking. But, oh dog? am I smart! Why, I'm so smart that sometimes it kinda scares me. A little doggie really shouldn't be so smart. And I'm only 7243 years old. And I'm so tough I kill big grasshoppers and moths and eat them. And I'm real brave and strong. Once two monstrous dogs jumped on me, and I'm just a little fellow, but I drove them both off! Ain't that line? Cats? Well, let's not go into that. But once when the dogcatchers chased me with their truck, I ran so fast that they never could catch me with their net, and I ran way around the block and came back home safe. But what really gets: me is that I'm so modest! The human beings who live with me are pretty good. They get me what I want to eat, if I stand up on my hind legs and beg for it. I also stare at them real hard while they eat, and if they still don't soften up, I cry. Then I get apples and oranges and ice-cream and eggshells, and all sorts of goodies. And I also eat snow and mud and peanuts that I crack open myself. But sometimes there's nothing else around: so I just hafta eat dogfood. When I do something bad, sometimes they try to punish me, but I jump up and lick them in the face, and then they laugh, and I lick them still more, and then they fall down choking on the floor, and I lick them calmly and mercilessly, and they're laughing so hard they can't do anything, so they never get to punish me. Sometimes we go to play a game of ball. The object of the game is for me to grab the ball and run away with it, and for them to chase me. It's so much fun! You know, men are kinda funny. Sometimes I see them take a book fthat's something you use to tear pages out ofj and they just sit and stare stupidly at it for hours, without tearing pages out of it, hardly even moving. But still I disagree with most dogs, because I honestly believe that men don't always do things by instinct. I really believe that they can think l.

Eighty-one CGCIMCQLLJ UNEXPECTELD GUESTS J ACQUELYN SCOTT gf ELIEVE me, it is with the greatest regret I am writing this. And only after debating the subject for fully two minutes I am passing it on to you. It all started during the football season. With the score Lake View 0, North Park 26, I made my way to the faithful drug store across the street from school, to drown myself in some heavenly goo. Mother and Dad were away, and even though I had a key to the house, I was staying with some friends. It was there in the drug store that Jean so boldly asked if she and a few others might spend Saturday evening at my house. I swallowed hard, for the perfect bliss that I did have was now gone in the gulp of ice cream. Now I ask you, could I have said No ? ClVlom told me later plenty of ways I could have said No , which I won't go into just now.j At 8:00 p, m. I was at home peacefully reading a gruesome murder story when I was brought to a stiff standing position, when the doorbell rang. It was only Vic asking where the party was. Party! What party? I exclaimed. Aren't you having open house tonight? asked Vic with a somewhat disgusted voice. Of course I'm not, was my only reply with my eyes in a glassy stare, and my jaw so wide it was about to drag on the floor. All I could hear Vic say was that the whole football team was up in the drug store gathering their bones together to trudge to my house. After Vic left I called Mr. March, the manager of the store, to ask him to tell the kids it was all a mistake. But as you have probably guessed by now, they had just left, all 52 of them. Lying half-way over the baby grand for support, I asked him what I should do. Mr. March only replied, YVhy don't you play dead? To my way of thinking that wouldn't have been hard to do at that moment, for the condi- tion I was in was nothing but utter bewilderment.. As I slowly put down the receiver the old familiar ring of lO long and 5 short greeted my all too unwilling ears. 1 Slowly, hoping against hope, I opened the door. Then trampled by some l5O kids, I slumped to the floor, while my lVIother's new rug was getting a first class work-out. It was raining now, as I picked myself off the floor and went out on the front porch, where I quietly fainted when I saw the heads of the kids I had invited in the first place pour toward the house. But could I have said No ? In the little while they were hanging from the wall fixtures, because there certainly was no room on the floor for them to stand. All the windows were open and literally hundreds hanging from them gasping for that last bit of precious air. I ask you, do you think I should have said No ? Oh, believe rne, a great time was had by all, except me. I just found a quiet corner in the basement where I sat on a pile of papers, thinking how I could get rid of them tactfully. Eighty-two 6Cl6!llC8ll,:f Fate stepped in at that moment, and because and only because the fellows had to keep in training did they leave. Now the house was quiet again. l opened the door to see what damage had been done. l'll mention only a few things, because in recalling the story I get a queer, sick feeling. Mother's plants were now sagged and broken, with popcorn on the earth supposedly for fertilizer. Pictures on the walls were practically up-side down. Sprayed all over lVlother's once new rug was a thin coat of coke , with popcorn and a few broken records thrown in to give it flavor. To sum it all up, it looked as if a bomb had just struck. Mother came home the next day, and--well-we won't go into just exactly what she said, but need I tell you? I really couldn't have said UNO could I?

BASKETBALL TEAM EDWARD EISFELDER The boys pictured above have bestowed upon Beaumont one of the greatest athletic honors in the annals of our school history. Before reviewing their prominent past, you must understand that they were a team, and as a team, not as individuals, will they always be remembered. XVith pride the CADUCEUS presents their record: The St. Louis Public High School Basketball Championship for the last two consecutive years: 1941-42 first honors and 1942-43 second honors in the green section of the Normandy Invitational Tournament: l94l-42-43 All-District, All Regional Championship: and this year, as the climax to a victorious season, again the Missouri State Championship. Our boys have earned these honors, not to mention that never before has any team had in its possession the state title twice in succession. QContinued on page 93.1 Eighty-eight I ,rt K 5, I..

'HQ ' ' aj 1 BASEBALL TEAM ROGER WENZEL Before the league season started, Beaumont's ball club played a few practice games in which the team was very successful. The team defeated Parks Air College four straight games, collecting 61 runs to Parks one run, Powell and Goodwin pitching excellent ball, The team then went on to defeat Concordia, Blewett, and Soldan and was defeated only once by Jefferson Barracks, 4-l. But as the league season rolled around, Beaumont was defeated in its first game by McKinley in a close game, 9-8. The team then bounced back to defeat Roosevelt and Soldan, The leading batters were Swederske, Meyer, and Maguire. The infield is considered the best Beaumont has ever had. The pitching staff also has been very dependable, consisting of Powell, Goodwin, and Smith. By last year's graduation Beaumont lost its entire outfield and had to start out with a new one. Beaumont will try to retain this year, the championship which it gained in 1942. CContinued on page 93.3 Eighty-nine C Cl UCQLLJ BLUE AND GOLD TURNS KHAKI EDWARD EISFELDER In the past, when a young man approached the time of graduation from the high school, it seemed the most eventful occasion of his life. The stepping- stone to a bright future, it was called. Leisurely he and his parents would deliberate on what college or what profession he should enter. Now, just as global war speeds production, so it accelerates the training of students. Today a boy may graduate on seven terms' work, modified, semi-modified, or what diploma have you? He either crams in two vitally needed subjects during summer school or suffers the consequences. Graduation a stepping-stone to a bright future? Not in the sense it used to be, for war's doubt and uncertainty stare a boy in the face, bombarding him with questions: Would a single term of college be of any avail, or would it be interrupted by the draft? What service should you enter? Are you physically fit for it? Can you meet the mental requirements? What will be your future? Would you have the nerve to bayonet a man or be run through yourself? It is plain, therefore, that on a do-or-die basis a student must decide on a branch of miltary service, weighing the requirements with his own honest opinion of himself. Fortunately, however, a variety of opportunity is not lacking. To a lad possessing initiative and desire for adventure the Air Corps offers excellent advancement. The Army A-I2 or Navy V-12 Officer Procurement Program is another splendid chance for those capable of taking part in it. A seventeen- year-old boy qualified may enlist in any branch of service he pleases, or any high-school graduate can readily become a cadet in the Maritime Service without taking a validating examination. True, riding a cargo of high octane fuel is not fun, but it soon becomes apparent that, in return for splendid oppor- tunities in any branch of service, a high quality of courage and performance is demanded. In fact, no matter what the opportunity chosen, the question always coming up is: What can you do? Not only the enlisted man but the officer, especially if he is young, must take an active part with his men in the field or on the deck, acquitting himself in performance in a manner commanding attention and respect. These things being true, the role played by high-school athletes is important in preparing young men to face action on the fighting front. Nor must it be overlooked that there is quite a difference between physical strength and ability to perform. Any organization can condition its recruits, but it cannot quickly give them co-ordination and special skills. The boy that can time perfectly his speed and stride to leap a hurdle or can co-ordinate the powerful swing of a bat with the bolt of a fast curve ball can better time his line of fire with the speed of an oncoming Zero. The boy that can sink a basket or peg a runner out at the plate can drop a grenade into an enemy dugout at iifty yards. When he hugs the muddy bank of a wadi while enemy shells whine and rumble through the cold desert night, the stamina drawn from hard-fought contests in the field of sports helps to carry him through. There is also the psychological viewpoint. When an athlete is on the field or on the gymnasium floor, the presence of a real opponent there, trying to outwit and out-perform him, excites him and taxes his self-control. He and his team-mates work in an organized unit, developing a silent understanding of each other's abilities. All learn to accept criticism and discipline, for without them the team would fall apart. At the same time, initiative and leadership assert themselves. CContinued on page 92.1 Ninety f 4 CGCIUCQUJ TRACK TEAM NORBERT STOCKE Many important men were lost last year from the squad, through gradua- tion: but, as in other years, our Track Team has come through this year with flying colors, under the guidance of Mr. Ehlert, our new coach. In the annual State High School Track Meet at Columbia, Missouri, on May 9, Beaumont made a splendid showing by Hnishing second to a strong University City team. Beaumont collected a total of 19M points for second place in the Class A division. The following boys contributed to Beaumont's total: Bob Gilmore took first place in the broad jump, with a jump of 21 feet, 6M inches. Ray Gilmore took first place in the 880-yard run, with a time of 2:01. Elmer Klein, a promising freshman, placed second in the high jump. Bill Berg placed third in the 220-yard dash, and Ray Hartman placed fourth in the 200-yard low hurdles, Our 880-yard and medley relay teams placed third to conclude the scoring. Beaumont finished second in the District Track Meet on May l4, losing the championship by only half a point. C. B. C. was the winner, with 52 points: Beaumont second, with 51M points, Our junior team captured their division crown with 26M points. Ray Gilmore broke the existing record in the senior 880-yard run, with a time of 1:59.6. The old record was Z:0l.4. We are again looking forward to retaining the interscholastic crown that we won last year. In addition to finishing second in the State and District Meets, our team has succeeded by making high scores in dual and triangular meets with other high school teams. CContinued on page 93.5 Ninety-one C a uceufi l SWIMMING TEAM RICHARD BLEIKAMP 'Iludges and timers, ready: swimmers, take your marks! Bang! They're off to the 1942-1943 swimming season. However, with only three lettermen returning and our pool closed for repairs, the team got oil' to a slow start. The boys did not win any league meets, but by diligent practice under the coaching of Mr, Elliot they won sixth place in the City Meet and sixth place in the State Meet. Captain Classen was prevented from competing, because of an injury. The prospects look better for next year, since a good stock of young swim- mers is coming up. LETTERMEN Returning: Not Returning: Edward Lanche Richard Bleikamp Bill Berg Gene Russell Robert Disch Jack Vogt Jim Hubbard, Manager BLUE AND GOLD TURNS KHAKI CCcntinued from page 90,5 lt is worth thinking of, then, is it not, that when a boy leaves the athletic fields of Beaumont to go into the uncertainties of war, he takes with him something else, something of great value, in addition to memories of a sporting good time. Ninety-two 66l6luCeu5 BASKETBALL CContinued from page 88.5 Looking back over a triumphant march of twenty-six victories and two defeats, not always was the future promising. Practice for long hours, sweat, and injuries were the costs gladly paid. Disappointment came when we were defeated by St. Louis U. High School, whom we had easily downed before. This defeat gave us second place in the Normandy Tournament and spoiled a clean record. A regular, Art Demling, was to be lost soon through gradua- tion, and critical eyes turned away from Beaumont then for expectations. That hurt was avenged, however, when we proved our superiority over St. Louis by again trouncing them on their own floor with Demling's position beautifully handled by Art. Brucker. Particularly encouraging was the respect and the admiration which the players on the squad had for our coach, Tom Stanton.

The Junior Division is now called Intermediate, boys participating in it who are under sixteen and a half years old at the time of the lnterscholastic Meet. The Midget is now termed Junior, boys participating in it who are under fifteen at the time of the meet. The Senior Division remains the same and includes all boys who have reached their seventeenth birthday before October 15, 1942.

Edward Eisfelder, or just A'Ed as he is more commonly called, has been Sports Editor on the CADUCEUS Stall- for two terms. Although he has written some literary material, his primary interest lies in the former field. Ed has acquired this interest by participating in many sports himself, having been recently awarded a letter for basketball. He has also been a rather promi- nent member of the Student Council. Among the things he especially likes are chocolate malts, Martin C1ould's orchestra, and anything connected with the sea. First on his list of pet hates are squeaky shoes! Ed is looking for a heavenly bundle with baby eyes, 'Atwice as smart as he is. His chief ambition is to become a sea captain, and later on, to be a science teacher with a loving wife and four children, preferably boys. r IAN CROWDER Ian has been one of the Literary Editors of the CADUCEUS Staff for four terms, and the CADUCEUS Correspondent for the New Senior and the Senior Class..

Oddly enough, Flossie particularly likes pickles and milk. Elorence is going to attend Washington University and take a liberal arts course. One Hundred KQJMCQU5 PATRONS' ASSOCIATION LAVERNE SKAGGS and DORIS BRAM The Patrons of Beaumont dedicate this page, which would ordinarily tell of their achievement during the year, as a tribute to our boys in military service. It is fitting that we should pause and acknowledge those sons of Beaumont who have gone out into the armed forces of our country. Many of the boys did not stay to graduate, so eager were they to help their country to the utmost. Others are older alumni, but they, too, have given much in order to assume their share of responsibility in the fight for victory. Some of these boys and men have attained the rank of offlcerl others are well on their way toward attaining it. All of them are making countless sacrifices for you and me, including leaving their homes, their jobs, their friends, and their loved ones: going to camps where they must do without luxuries and many conveniences: moving to foreign soil, where they fight dirt, insects. disease, and homesickness, as well as the enemy: and-greatest of all-giving their lives for the freedom we all love. To face the loneliness and hardships of military life requires real courage, and Beaumont is proud of her boys who have answered the call to arms bravely and willingly. It would take more than a page or even a book to describe the feeling in our hearts for them. Older and younger, they are all doing a job--a job for freedom. STUDENT COUNCIL One Hundred One Cacluceud TI-IE DIGEST PAUL SCHULZE Adjudged by many critics Cpaid and unpaidj to be one of the best high- school publications in the country, our A'Digest this term completes its four- teenth year of service to our faculty, students and community. Through these years it has always maintained the standards and principles that have made it the practically priceless publication that over 2,000 students read and enjoy every other Friday. Many of you are acquainted with the reporters, many of them you know but faintly, but you do not know just what positions they hold and what they write on the Digest . Numerous additions to the staff this term made it seem at Hrst that the going would be difficult. But Shirley Tyer, Betty Knickmeyer, Aldine Ahrens, Jean Jaech, and Bill Niehaus all came through with flying colors, and each had his or her own scoop in our lirst printing this term. These newcomers were also grouped into what we call the Wise and Otherwise-but mostly otherwise- committee who, under Madelyn Comforts guidance, brought us tiny bits of news in a delightful style. fContinued on page l36.j One Hundred Two N G, uceua C SENIOR GIRLS' GLEE.

The club's first appearance was the Pathers' and Daughters' Party, Feb- ruary l9. Our selections were: Lo, a Voice to Heaven Sounding -Borb niansky, The Sleigh -Kountz, and Reminiscent Waltz -Stamm. Our operetta, a romantic musical comedy, Way Out West, with music by Ted Williams and the book by Carleton S. Hadley, was given in the school auditorium, May 20, 21. The Senior Boys' Cilee Club and also the boys of the Senior Mixed Chorus, participated in the affair. The Girls' Glee Club also made a creditable showing in the Music Festival.

During the month of May, the Senior Girls' Culee Club, the Senior Boys' Glee Club, with the help of the Senior Mixed Chorus, presented a comedy operetta entitled Way Out West, which I am sure many of the public attended and enjoyed.

The club is always going somewhere. Outstanding among its many visits are those to the Art Museum, Educational Museum, the Campbell House, and the Old Court House, However, its members do not travel every week. For the meetings here at Beaumont there are reports, debates on modern topics, speakers, and musical entertainment. But do not get the idea that the club neglects the social side of life. This term we had a grand party plus a fun-jammed picnic at Forest Park. The History-Travel Club holds its meetings every Thursday after school in Room 1205. We hope to see you there next term.

The Alfred Marshall Club is a social and economic group, open only to students who have taken or are taking sociology or economics. Alfred Marshall was a noted economist, who was greatly interested in social welfare. Our club meets in 317 alternately on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Various topics are discussed pertaining to interesting social problems of the day and backed up by motion pictures Which help to illustrate social conditions here in America and abroad. We usually take trips to various industrial plants to acquaint ourselves better with economics involved in industry. We have taken a trip to the Coca Cola Plant and have observed the speed and efficiency of modern machinery, plus the cooperation between man and machinery. Our sponsor, Miss Hudler, who has been sponsoring the Alfred Marshall Club for more than ten years and whose management has made our club a success, has done much to teach us current problems both social and economic not only through books but through actual experience.

The musical portion of the program is enjoyed immensely, including such features as accomplished vocalists, musicians, various instrumental and glee clubs of the school, and the Mothers' Choral Club. At one of the meetings Mr, Huntington gave a brief outline of school activities. After the meetings the members adjourn to the lunchroom for a social hour and refreshments served by the Hospitality Committee. The club's activities outside of school are numerous. During the past school year members have ably assisted in the issuing of all Ration Books and in the selling of War Bonds and Stamps. On March 19th a pleasant afternoon was spent by the members and their friends in the auditorium. After they had been entertained by Mrs. Clinnie Dill Pavlick with a number of piano selections, lVlrs. Frances Fivecoate reviewed the book, l'There is Today. Following this, a delightful tea was served in the lunchroom. At the May meeting, mothers and daughters of members were the honored guests. fContQnued on page 137.3 One Hundred Eight FIRST TERMERS THIRD TERMERS One Hundred Nine 6a6!uCellJ SENIOR BAND ' BERDENIA MCDONALD What school isn't proud to have an organization to represent it at concerts and parades, and to Upep up the players and fans when going is hard at games? Who doesn't feel better when he hears the strains of some familiar and snappy march such as Stars and Stripes Forever or National Emblem echoing down the halls? What organization gives us this? Is it sponsored by the OPA, PX, GS, or OCD? This organization is the Beaumont Band. The sponsor is Mr. Stamm, who has worked unceasingly to make the band a credit to the school. ls it a credit organization? Yes. Anyone who is of terms one or two in school may substitute band for the required chorus. Anyone who is of terms three or above may receive one half-credit per term. Each term some type of get-together is planned. Letters are awarded to those students who meet the requirements. Any student interested in this type of activity should join next term. This term the members of the band decided to honor its outgoing seniors by electing only them as officers as a reward for their loyal and unceasing service to the band during the past terms.

Along with our work we have planned to enjoy at least a day's outing: so the whole group is anxiously awaiting June 12th, when there will be a get-together in Forest Park.

After about the first month of the term, the boys were asked to help the Senior Girls' Glee and Boys' Glee Clubs in the production of their operetta, Way Out West : so the girls were left to carry on as best they could. It has been a unique experience to sing as a girls' group without the support of our lusty male contingent, but the all-feminine work has had its compensations. However, we welcomed the return of the boys to the group, and We find a tremendous satisfaction in the full rich value of a mixed choir.

A little time and effort brings to us hours of enjoyment with our stamps and albums. On account of certain issues and types being so illustrated, we stamp enthu- siasts are kept on our toes in respect to history, geography, a-nd current events. Such a pleasant Way to learn these subjects that are so often difficult! Any collector has a chance of finding a rare, old, or unusual stamp that may be worth hundreds of dollars. Blocks of the regular issues are often worth several times their original cost in later years. So you see, stamps are not only a pleasing pastime but a legitimate form of investment. Next time you see a stamp take a good look at it and become interested in philately, which is the high-brow name for stamp collecting: then join us neXt term in the Beaumont Stamp Club.

Previously, the club had selected each term one Shakesperian drama for study and dramatization. This practice, however, has been abandoned temporarily for our new plan. The program committee organizes plans for both educational and entertaining meetings. We have paid special attention to the delightful comedy, Midsummer Night's Dream, because we plan to attend the production of this plan to be given by Webster College. Some members of that cast have graciously con- sented to present selections from this imaginative drama at a special meeting of the Shakespeare Club. Each member is anxiously looking forward to this treat. We may well appreciate the dainty, delicate airiness of the play in these lines of the Fairy,- 'fl must go seek some dewdrops here, And hang a pearl in every cowslip's car. At one of our meetings this term Mr. Enzinger furnished the records of Richard H, starring Maurice Evans. George Ringwald, a former member, excellently recited the speech of John of Gaunt from the same historical play. Everyone fortunate to hear this program will certainly remember it for a long time.

As you all know, the Pepperettes is an all-girl organization, which lends moral support to our teams by cheering and singing at their games.

The questions are then discussed in open forum by all the members who care to express their views. The debates are enjoyable, as well as instructive. A great scholar once wrote, 'AThe ability to reason logically and express one's ideas clearly is vital to every wide-awake citizen in a democracy. l'm sure you agree with him. lf so, join us and share our fun. We meet on alternate Tuesdays in Room 208. To be eligible, one must have good grades, have the term-rating of a four or higher, and get the recommendation of an English teacher.

Where have they been? They are members of the Duck Club who have been in the swimming pool for forty-five minutes of work and play. Because of the large number of girls in the Duck Club, it has been divided into two groups: one group swims on the even weeks and the other group swims on the odd weeks. In co-operation with the government's plan for physical fitness, the mem- bers of the Duck Club are trying to make themselves strong. Every week, under Miss Kirkwood's leadership, the girls really get a workout. Besides having fun at the regular Tuesday meetings, all of the girls had a wonderful time at the outing.

One book is chosen at the beginning of the term by the members, and it is the pleasure of each to read it. Our discussion of this book at the end of the term is always interesting.

This term our exhibit Will consist mainly of clay models and charts of objects of scientihc interest. As a usual thing, each Friday a short informal talk on some subject of interest to the club is given by one of the members. This term we have also seen some motion pictures distributed by the Office of War Information, gone to St. Louis University to hear lectures on victory gardens and on war gases, and taken a very interesting trip to Gradwohl Laboratory. Another point of interest is the club's picnic held some time in May, and the Junior Academy picnic, both of which always offer plenty of fun.

One Hundred Thirty-three Cacluceud CHESS CLUB HENRY HOLLAND This term when Mr. Feldman left Beaumont the Chess Club was in bad strait. However, Mr. Kanazireff was kind enough to take over on very short notice. Chess, a very ancient game, is said to have started in Persia. When the Sha, the king of Persia, was taught the game he was so delighted he wished to reward the inventor. When the inventor. was asked what he would like he made an unusual request. He asked that one grain of wheat should be set on the first square of his board, two on the second, four on the next and so on. This was quickly granted but when the King found out how much this would amount to, he found he did not have enough grain in all his kingdom to pay this price. The average person first makes contact with chess by watching two persons playing. One of the first things the spectator notices is the long pauses between moves. During this time, apparently, nothing is happening. This is very misleading. Things are happening during every second of that time. g Between moves each player must examine the board to find which of his men are in danger and which are in position to attack. It should be remembered that only certain types of people enjoy chess. If you don't like other people, if you are a poor loser, or if you don't enjoy playing a game for the sake of enjoyment, chess is not for you. However, if you are a normal American, and enjoy putting your skill against that of others, chess is the game you have been looking for.
